Weekend Mass Collections

There are two collections during the Sunday and Holyday Masses:

• The first collection is for the support of the priests of the Diocese.

• The second collection is for SHARE – the diocesan fund which supports the development of new parishes and other needy parishes

 

Christmas and Easter Dues:

To support the priests of the Diocese, dues are payable at Christmas and Easter. Envelopes are delivered to homes in the parish and are made available also in the church porches.

 

Tax Relief

A most welcome source of funding is the Income Tax Rebate Scheme. Last year it realised over 16,000 euro! Cumulative donations over 250 euro to the Church attract tax relief. Contact Parish Office for information.

 

Special Collections After Sunday Masses.

1. Please apply in writing to the Parish Pastoral Team stating the aim of the project or charity and where the monies will go
2. While we receive many requests from very worthy charities, to encourage the youth of our Parish only charities/projects involving the youth of the Parish will be considered.
3. The young person(s) concerned may address the congregation at the end of the Masses outlining the project and invite them to the Parish Centre after Mass for tea/coffee where hopefully they will make a donation
4. Only one such collection will be permitted per month.
