Parish Finance
The Development Fund and Clergy Offering envelope
boxes are due for renewal soon. The Development Fund
supports major work to parish buildings. If you have not
yet made a contribution for 2015 please consider doing so
before the end of January. If you do not receive a box of
envelopes and would like to, please contact the parish office. Alternatively, rather than using a box of envelopes
you can contribute by cheque or standing order.
We are currently preparing the 2016 envelope boxes for
distribution and we need assistance delivering them to the
various areas and townlands of the parish; if you can help
deliver boxes in your area we would be very grateful.
The priests and Parish Finance Committee say a sincere
thank you to all parishioners for their financial contributions to the parish. The annual financial statement for
2015 will be published in the coming weeks.
