The New Financial Year commenced last Sunday with the first envelope. I wish to remind you again, please use your envelope every week for the Church. I also wish to remind you at this time, that the diocese has a levy of €45 per household.
240 homes x €45 = €10,800.00
The Parish contributes to the diocese by direct debit €888.75 per month. If a household isn’t contributing, the Parish must pay the €45 to the diocese. As we begin the New Financial Year, I ask all households to use their envelope.
A very sincere thanks to all the people who are so good to the Church/Priest every week.
