Collections.

 Your Offertory contribution last weekend amounted to €1,523.90. Buíochas. 

Parish Envelope Collection this weekend is for the Propagation of the Faith – Mission Support.

 

This weekend we celebrate Mission Sunday.
At this time we are invited to support the work of missionaries abroad by prayer and financial help. The collection in our church this weekend is to help and aid the continuing work of missionaries throughout the world and your support is very much appreciated.
While the emphasis and the collection is for the mission to the whole world overseas or ‘foreign missions’, people are also invited to share their faith with those newcomers from the whole world who have come to live among us.

‘‘As if Boys Town wasn’t enough, he was one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous in Australia. As well, he filled the role of friend, helper and guide for Sydney’s homeless men. While Parish Priest of Hurtsville in Sydney he was involved in founding GROW, the self-help movement for the mentally ill. In short, his life was an embodiment of the teaching of Chapter 25 of St Matthew’s Gospel.’’
