Energy Footprint Tool
In 2022, the UK recorded the highest temperatures ever. Also, records were broken across the world together with extreme climate events. What can we do to help slow this trend and to demonstrate our love for God’s creation? Cutting our church’s carbon footprint is one way. Every little bit we do counts.

The easy-to-use Energy Footprint Tool will tell your church what your “carbon footprint” is, based on the energy you use to heat and light your buildings.

The tool is now open for 2022 data.

Priest-in-Charge, St Paul's Foleshill
In 2022 the adjoining parish of Foleshill St Laurence has been designated as one of 6 Diocesan Mission Hubs; to equip and resource parishes in mission and discipleship.  Following discernment and consultation, it is envisaged that the successful postholder will be supported in ministry through a new hub collaborative leadership team between St Laurence’s and St Paul’s (and potentially other parishes).  This would initially be on a relational basis to establish trust and to identify potential areas for shared mission opportunities – including the planting of new worshipping communities.
