Collection for fund which supports seminarians and deacons

The annual collection for the Priesthood Education Fund in the Diocese will be taken up on next weekend, the 21st/22nd of September. One seminarian continues his studies for the Priesthood in St. Patrick’s College Maynooth, and another man is continuing his studies for the Permanent Diaconate. The Priesthood Education Fund finances their studies as well as costs for ongoing training and education for priests.

Thank you for last year’s collection which came to €64,903. In the same year, the Fund spent €82,500. appreciating that these are difficult times financially, you are asked to be as generous as you can to the Priesthood Education Fund annual collection.
