Welcome to the Additional Curates Society
For over 170 years the Additional Curates Society has faithfully served the Church of England and supports some of the poorest and populous parishes. Our strap line is “Passionate about Priesthood” and as an organisation we are 100% committed to doing every thing we possibly can to both pray for and pay for priests.
The purpose of the ACS is to ensure that the Christian Faith is proclaimed in poor and populous parishes. It does this by funding assistant priests, and encouraging vocations to the priesthood.
ACS believes that the sacrament of Holy Order, Priesthood, is a precious gift from God and a means of grace for His people.
ACS also holds precious the people of God, especially in poor and populous parishes. ACS prays and works to ensure that parishes will have priests. It gives grants to parishes for priests. It fosters and encourages vocations to the priesthood.
