Summer is coming!

The parish is hosting a summer garden party in the church grounds after the 5.30pm family Mass on Saturday 10th June. You are all very welcome to join us.

Summer Dues – a message from Archbishop Dermot Farrell

“Now that the emergency phase of the pandemic has been officially declared over, this
is an appropriate time to remind ourselves of the centrality of coming together as a
Christian community to celebrate Sunday, the Lord’s Day. Though we are many we are
all one body in Christ (see 1 Corinthians 10:16-17).
As we pray for a new beginning for the Church in the Archdiocese, and encourage renewed
and active participation of all parishioners, please continue to support your priests in all
the ordinary ways, and through this Summer Dues collection. The generosity that people
show towards their priests is indispensable; our gratitude can never be fully expressed.
Your donations may go further at no additional cost to you due to the availability of
tax relief on charitable donations. With your help the parish can claim a tax refund to
the value of 45% of your contribution from Revenue from those who contribute €250 or
more in any given year, subject to the taxpayer having paid at least the amount of tax
being claimed by the parish. The parish can reclaim the tax no matter whether you are
either PAYE or Self-Assessed. This tax rebate from Revenue is now an important source
of income for the parish.”
