Unfortunately, we have been advised by our bank (Royal Bank of Scotland) that from the 9 June 2025 we can no longer accept any cheques under 50 euro or postal orders of any amount.We are very sorry that this has happened, but it is out of our hands.

If you would like to continue supporting the important work of the Carmelites across the world and the work of the Shrine, we can still accept debit/credit card payments, bank transfers or phone call donations, but we are unable to take cheques under 50 euro or any postal orders of any amount.

We have so many friends in Europe, and we hope that you would still like to receive the newsletter and hear from us. Please remember that you are always in the prayers of the Carmelites here at the Shrine and around the country.

Please do not hesitate to call our team on +44 1795 539 214 if you have any questions or any concerns.
