Parish Envelopes

The past year has proven difficult for everyone in so many different ways, not least financially. As a Parish we are very grateful to those Parishioners who have made donations in different ways that continue to support the needs that it has. Hopefully we will be able to give you a picture soon as to how we have fared over the past year financially. Envelopes for the Parish will shortly be distributed, in mid to late  March. We are very grateful to those who facilitate this.  Anyone who would like envelopes is asked to contact Fr. MacEntee directly on  02882 898641 over the next week.  Indeed, if you think a son or daughter could do with them you could make contact on their behalf! In any event we need to invite some more to help run the Parish and contributing is one such way. Likewise if you do contribute but have never signed a gift aid form it can be downloaded from the Parish website and dropped into the collection box.  If you signed one before you don’t need to do so again.   All you need to be is a taxpayer, even on a pension. The Parish can get in excess of £20, 000 a year from the scheme.  Think about all this please and remember that your giving is not taken for granted and is very much appreciated.
