New Parish Envelopes
· The new box of parish contribution envelopes are being delivered now. Thank you to all our distributors.
· The new box starts on 1st February
· The new box also contains the 6 priest’s collection envelopes (Green envelopes). So, if you don’t use the weekly envelopes, but do contribute to the priest’s collections, you will need to keep your box. The 6 priest’s collections are taken up at different times of the year.
· If you contribute €5 or more a week to the parish, and/or support the priest’s collections, that may put you over the minimum threshold of €250pa for tax relief. Using the envelopes allows us to verify your weekly contribution.
· If you received envelopes, and don’t want them, don’t throw them out, drop them back to the church or to my house and I’ll amend the system so we won’t bother you any more.
If you don’t currently receive envelopes, and would like to, get in touch. Thank you to all our supporters
