Some of you have already supported our campaign and for that we are most grateful. Support now is being requested from across all parishes to ensure the Cathedral is preserved. We encourage everyone to make a donation next weekend in our special collection. Envelopes will be available at the back of the church for those who miss 15th/16th November but would like to donate at a later stage. Please note, if you are making a donation by cheque, please make your cheque payable to Diocese of Clogher. All donors will be remembered in a dedicated Mass of thanksgiving in St. Macartan’s Cathedral (date to follow). Thank you.
