PARISH RESTORATION FUND
TAX RELIEF FORMS: During the past week letters have been issued to those who have generously donated €250 or over during the year 2010. We thank those who have returned completed forms to the Parish Office and we are asking the remainder to please return by March 31st.
NEW PARISH ENVELOPES: During the coming week the new parish envelopes will be distributed. This year there is a slight change from the way it has been done. Instead of covering 12 months these boxes will cover 9 months and new boxes will be delivered in December for the year 2012. This is to bring our collection into line with the tax year. Thanking you for your continued support.
