SECOND COLLECTION
The Diocese supports parishes through all kinds of services such as Education, School Religious Faith Formation support, Mission and Ministry, Youth Ministry, Safeguarding, Stewardship and in areas such as Data Protection, Finance and property advisory.
This assistance to parishes is only possible through your ongoing generosity In July The Diocesan quarterly Collection amounted to €47,324.70 for which the Diocese is most Grateful. These collections allow us to support the work in Parishes and Families of Parishes. This work is vital to enable our parishes to be renewed and invigorated as we rebuild after Covid and begin this Year of Prayer, Listening and Discernment. As we respond to Christ’s Mission to build his Kingdom of Love and Peace and Justice, we discover over the next year how God is calling us to be his Church and Faith Communities into the future.
The next quarterly collection will take place next weekend, 12th /13th of October 2024.
Your support for this collection would be greatly appreciated.
