Parish Envelopes
Where possible, please use the parish envelope when making a donation. This allows us to record your donation and if you contribute €5 per week or more, we may be able to claim the tax back on that amount. This charitable scheme is at no further cost to the donor, but could be worth an extra 33% to the parish.
When using envelopes, please write your name on the envelope since we are transitioning to a digital system and sometimes the numbers are different.
Priest’s October Collection
The October collection for the support of the priest of the parish will be taken up in October. Thank you very much for your support.
To make our distributors task easier, you will receive THREE envelopes this time. One for October, one for November, and one for Christmas. Please keep these safe until they are needed.
I am extremely grateful for the support I receive from parishioners. I derive my entire income from the 6 special collections taken up each year.
