Priests Collections
The first Collection for the Archbishop and priests of the diocese will be taken up on Easter week-end. At the Public meeting on the 16th January it was decided to commence a new method of dealing with the priests Collections, by letting each household assess themselves and make the quarterly contribution based on their income. A guideline was enclosed with the packet of envelopes in January this year. We rely on the generosity of parishioners to pay their Easter dues during the Easter week-end and as outlined at the Public Meeting it is important that every household make a contribution. We depend completely on your generosity. Thanks for the increased collections at the end of 2011 in response to our appeal.
