Dear Parishioner

The parish is important in the lives of all of us. We identify ourselves by the parishes we come from. In the parish we have our Christenings, Marriages, First Holy Communions, Funerals and so on. We need all our members to support our parish in whatever way they can. We thank all those who faithfully contribute every week.

It costs a lot to run the parish for a year from € 60,000 - €70,000.

If everyone gives a little then the burden is shared. The best and easiest way to support our parish is to give to the Weekly Envelope collection each Sunday. The contribution may be small but every little helps.

If you are a PAYE worker and if your total contribution to the parish is €250 or over per annum the parish can claim back tax . All you need do is fill in the Form which is available in the Parish Office.

We are sure that our parishioners would like to be involved in this all out effort to support our parish. As you know we give a detailed account of our Income and Expenditure each year at the end of January.

Please give us your support this year.Thank You The Parish Council.
