St Vincent de Paul Clothing appeal: Appeal is for clean, good quality clothes – bed clothes, curtains, shoes etc. Distribution of Bags on 19th/20th January with Collection on 27th January.

Christmas Dues: It is regretted that Christmas Dues envelopes together with the “Christmas Timetable 2007” were not delivered to many homes in the Parish. Due to time constraints resulting from circumstances beyond our control, we had to abandon our normal delivery practice. A Delivery Service was contracted, shortly before Christmas to carry out the delivery of the envelopes but managed to deliver only a proportion of the envelopes, before Christmas. It is important to state that no blame, attaches to the Parishioners, who usually deliver the Christmas Cards. It is becoming difficult to have sufficient numbers of volunteers to prepare and deliver the Christmas and Easter cards with the Dues envelopes to 2,400 homes. If you are willing to help for Easter please let us know.

Recently Deceased: Ciaran McCann late of Rosmeen Gardens and Fergus Draper of Dundela Park May they rest in peace.
