Thank You

Thank You

Thank you to all who returned their Christmas Dues and thank you also to those who made a donation to the Parish at Christmas. The Christmas Dues go to the Dublin Diocesan Common Fund from which all priests (both those with an appointment and those who are retired or sick) in the Diocese are paid an allowance. The First Collection each Sunday also supports this fund. In recent years this fund has been declining very rapidly. In the last five years it has declined by 14% and the  allowance to priests continues to be reduced accordingly. May I encourage you to continue your support of your priests by your contribution to the Christmas and Easter Dues and the First Collection. Please also continue to pray for your priests and for vocations to the priesthood.
