Annual Church gate collection

We would like to remind you that this year’s Annual Church Gate Collection will take place at all Masses in the Mid Cork area Sat 7th and  Sunday 8th December.’24.

You regularly support our work and we know that we can depend on your generosity again this  year.  You may be surprised to learn, that even in a strong economy many people still fall through the safety net of Social Protection and depend on our help.

At this time every year, there is a much greater call on our resources for fuel, food and clothing especially from families with young  children where State supports are inadequate.

We look forward to your support
