The Catholic Diocese of Wrexham serves parishes and communities in Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Gwynedd, Wrexham and the District of Montgomery in the County of Powys.
Legacies are a wonderful way of helping to ensure that the faith and values we cherish will be carried on for future generations. However large or small, a legacy gift in your will can be left to your parish, the Cathedral, or to the Diocese, and will always be acknowledged by a remembrance in prayer and at Masses celebrated for benefactors.
Your gift could be specified to be used for the following purposes:
• To look after the sick and retired priests of the Diocese;
• To help the Cathedral or your own Parish;
• To provide for the formation and training of priests and deacons;
• To develop lay ministry;
or simply for general purposes at the discretion of the bishop or parish priest.
