In recent weeks funds have dipped into the red. Given all that’s happened it’s amazing that we’ve got this far.

So, this weekend we’re launching a raffle to raise much needed funds for the day to day running of the parish.

First prize is a trailer load of firewood and four additional prizes of luxury hampers, each valued at €100.00.

Tickets are now available and cost €2 each or a book of three for €5. Winners will be drawn on Saturday December 18th.

As always I ask for your gracious support by buying a ticket or two and by selling as many tickets as you can!

We will have a number of public events in the town centre in the coming weeks where we’re planning to sell tickets and we’ll need ticket sellers at each event. Perhaps you might be able to give us an hour or two at one or more event.

Please contact the Parish Office, Fr. Paddy or any member of the Finance Committee: Eugene Doyle (Chair), Aidan Ryan, Anne Dobbs, Patrick Lambert, Paddy Gahan, Albert O’Callaghan, Linda O’Rourke (Sec), Fr. Paddy Banville.
