Charity Reclaim Scheme
All CHY forms have now been sent out to people who we can identify as having contributing €250 or more to the parish in past years. If you donate at least €5 per week (through envelopes, standing order, yearly, priest’s collection etc.) and you pay tax, the Charity Donation Scheme, allows the parish to reclaim the tax paid on your donations — and this is at no extra cost to the donor.
If you have received a form, please fill it in and return it to us if you qualify.
If you received a form, but don’t qualify, or don’t wish to take part, still return the form with a large ‘X’ across the sheet. Thank you.
