PARISH SAVINGS
A very special word of thanks to the collectors and those who count and organise the money for the parish savings throughout the year. Without you there would not be savings. From time to time collectors, for their own good reasons, can no longer collect the savings. If that happens maybe someone in that area will take over this important job. It makes it easier all round if two or more people alternate year about.

STAMPS please collect all your stamps over Christmas and leave them in the sacristies after Masses. These stamps go to St Patrick’s Mission, Kiltegan and help fund their missions. Every stamp counts !!
