Supporting the Parish Community Employment Work
As we come into Spring and grass begins to grow the work of caring for Church grounds, presbyteries, the cemeteries , community Fields and cutting so much grass has to be done. Each year has meant mowers are now needing to be replaced. Both ride on mowers and hand mowers. New ones have to be bought almost immediately.

We welcome your suggestions and support in doing this. Please let Fr. O’Rourke know how you suggest the money for this big expenditure might be raised. These funds have to be provided by the sponsors of all these undertakings. If not, work will cease and so many places will go wild.
