The parish provides a centre of Catholic Anglican V*wship in the heart of Oxford wth a strong tradition of
pre8ching and music, with a fvll round of daity services arKI accessibilty to the sacraments.
In the usual pattem of worship. there is a HNJh Mass on SurKlays (preceded by Moming Prayer) and tsvo Low
Masses. The average attendance is usually in excess of 100.
On weekdays Moming and Evening Prayer are normally said in church. drawing small bul failhlul congregations.
The daily masses Ounch-time and evening) draw Congregat￿nS from those work in the cty centre, or
vh)0 a￿ visrting the ¢ity. A priest is available lo hear confessions after the midday mass. and at other times.

on Sunday is nomially accompanied by a semi-professK)nal choir of eight.
Lent, Holy Week and Easter normalty provKle a special opportunty for outreach and mission. During Lent,
weekly Stations of the Cross and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament is Combined th a semion series. On
Good Friday. the Three Hours Devotion IrKJmialty preached by Ihe Vicar) is a major event in AngSo£atholic
preaching. drawng a congiegalion. The cOng￿gab.On wel(xthe5 a large number of wsitors to the services
of the Triduum and Easter Day. These semces V￿re not posSi￿e in 2020, but many of them were restored in

Sacred Space
The PCC has in the past mel the Challenge of keeping the c*utch open at regular limes during ￿eekdaYS by
employing an on-site parish administrator, and by drawng upon the g00dv￿lI of volunteers when she is not
present. Parishioners. citizens of Oxford. and visitors to the cty all make use of the church for prayer, or simply

Flnan¢ial review
Over the year the net assets of the PCC irbcreased by £2.539
The PCC has continued lo meet rts target of paying its Parish Share to the DI￿Se. accepting Ihe Deanery
strategy that parishes should cover al least their dergy costs that fau on the diocese.
Resetves PolKy
In past years the PCC has had no formal policy conceming reserves. It has. however. operated wthin a ¢ode of
practice by which rt is understood that there should ahrnys be sufficient liquid fvnds to cover the PaTrsh Share
paid to the Diocese. along with charitable d￿a￿"0￿$ and all rouline annual running costs as they fall due. The
ability to do so has been monitored on a rolling quarter by quarter basis. projecb.ng forwaid 12 months. rather
Ih8n a year end judgement.
It has been an aspiration that tax effiaenl planned gi￿￿. augmented by the Gift recoVe￿d, should Cover the
Parish Sha￿. Most of this 15 received through the Parish Giving Scheme vthich prowdes a reasonable level of
security in managing cash flow.
Prftnc¥MI Risks and Uncertaint*s
The major risk is the impact of the pandemic on parish giwng. The high proportion of giwng through planned
giving al Sl Mary Magdalen's is a major milKJation of the absence of giving in the plate. However, the absence of
the plate does remove a giving venue, particularly at Easter and Christmas when large numbers of occasional
worshippers are present. It is nol dear when it wll be $8fe lo reintroduce it. Moreover, those currently supporting
the Parish through planned giving may find that they are unable to continue lo in¢rease their donations in line
with any rising Costs, eswdty 8$ the financial and eCOrffii￿ impact of the pandemic unfolds over the coming
years.
In 2015 the PCC purchased an invesknent IXOWty and in 2020 received rental income of £25.800.
Related lo outgoings, the fabric of the church building Nbill ahvays provide a level of uncertainty. even when
properfy maintained. Our insurance poliues are reMev*d every three years Ilasl in 20151. Major capital projects
are undertaken onty after specffic fvrKlral￿n9 appeals and are unde￿ilten by The Sl Mary Magdalen
Restoration and Development Trtjst.
It is the policy of the Charity thal Un￿striCted fijnds %thich have not been de￿gnaled fot a spechfjc use should be
maintained at a level equivalent to be￿en three 3tKI six month's expendituTe. The Tru51ees consider that
reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in lunding. they wll be able to wnlinue the
Charity's current activities while conwderab.on is given to ways in ￿lch additional fvnds may be raised. This level
of reserves has been rnaintained throughout the year.
Plans for future periods
The PCC wll continue to promote in the parish the ￿th01e mis*on of the Church through prayer and worship,
leaching and leaming, and serving the Y￿￿er community- In praclice. we ￿*11 achieve this by maintaining our
pattem of seNices, continuing our study prtyJrammes and ministry to students and ordinands. and engaging in
pastoral contact wth arbd ministry to the geographical p8nsh as well as to the neiworks ol our gathered
congregats.on and our many visitors.

carried out as at 31 Oecember 2016. For the pen￿on Builder Classics se¢b"on. the valuation revealed a
deficit of £14.2 on the ongoing assumpts.ons used. At the most recent annual review, the Board chose not to
grant a discretionary bonus. which wll have 8cte(I to imwe the fvnding posf(ion. There is no requirement
for the deficrt payments at the cJJrrent tsme.
For the pension Builder 2014 section. the valuation revealed a surplu5 of £1.8m on the ongoing
assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments al the ¢xJffenl ts"me. The leg81 Structu￿ of
the scheme is such that if another employer fails. Sl Mary Magdalen (Oxford) PCC could become
iesponsible for paying a share of that emF*)ye¢s pen￿￿ Irdbilits"e3.
