Sincerest Thanks
Sincerest thanks to all who distributed the boxes of Parish envelopes for 2014 and to all our parishioners who are taking the new initiative seriously. We hope that this will mean that our regular collections will be increased considerably because parishes have charity status and the rebate can be claimed from Revenue, provided we keep complete records of all contributions and tax payers reach at least €250 in contributions in the year.

Sanctuary Flowers Collection
Sincerest thanks to all who contributed to the Annual Sanctuary Flowers Collection. If you have overlooked it, your donations are welcome.
