THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

This has been a very challenging and painful year for everyone. It has also been a year when we have seen wonderful examples of community support and people supporting one another. It is particularly difficult that people cannot come to Mass and we eagerly look forward to the day when we can return. 

We appealed to parishioners to continue to support the parish as best they could and there has been a generous response for which we are most grateful and encouraged.

Although our income has reduced substantially we have been able to run the parish and to make progress in reducing our parish debt. We are pleased to report that our debt on the 31 Dec 2020 is €99,790. This is a big achievement during these difficult times. 

We have a large and vibrant Parish that we can be proud of. We ask for your continued support and together we will face these challenges. 

We thank you for your support and generosity.  The Parish Finance Committee
