Diocesan Needs
2nd collection29th/30th March
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 Governance and in areas such as Data Protection, Finance and Property advisory.
This assistance to parishes is only possible through your ongoing generosity. In January the Diocesan Quarterly Collection amounted to €56,738 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 continue the Year of Prayer, Listening And Discernment in our Diocese and discern how God is calling us to be his Church and Faith Communities into the future, your financial support is vital to allow this to happen.
The next quarterly Diocesan collection will take place on 29th and 30th March 2025.
Your Support for this collection would be greatly appreciated.
Ovens Confirmation
Confirmation will be in Ovens on Tuesday the 1st of April.
Again, as in Farran we wish them a lovely and Holy (and Profitable ) day.
And again the efforts of religious, teachers, parents, those working behind the scenes and of course the children themselves must be acknowledged.
May God bless them and their families
