Pennies From Heaven
The purpose of this page is to answer the question “How is All Saints supported?”.
Pennies DO come from heaven (Everything comes from God - 1 Cor. 11:12), but they might have to come via YOU first!
It’s important to explain that we are totally self-supporting.
Although we are an Anglican Church belonging to the Worldwide Anglican Communion, we do not receive any outside financial support. On the contrary, we ourselves support the mission work of our Archbishop and other Christian organisations plus local charities.
What does it cost
Our lead Priest is paid a full stipend in line with the recommended stipend paid to clergy in the UK. Our assistant Priests are non-stipendiary, or to put it another way, they do not receive any form of
remuneration. However, we still have to find money to pay for supplies, rent, travel expenses etc. Our accounts show that we need minimum income of €5,000 every month to meet all our current commitments. However, as we follow God’s guidance on our future work here in Portugal (which may include the need for our own premises) our expenses will undoubtedly grow.
Offerings made at the service are greatly appreciated and some people tithe or subscribe to the weekly envelope scheme. For residents in Portugal, these donations are valid for tax relief and the Portuguese Government will remit to us 0.05% of your tax (with no cost implication to you) if you quote our tax number
509 010 946 on your annual tax return. Our treasurer will explain this more fully and also how to obtain the correct receipts to attach to your annual tax returns.
