SUMMER DUES
Dear Parishioners,
Firstly we wish to say a warm word of thanks to you for your great generosity to the Christmas and Easter Dues and the First Sunday Collection, all of which go towards the payment of the priests of the parish and the diocese.
Our Archbishop has now written to tell us that the extended period without Sunday Masses this year has meant a dramatic drop in monies received by the Diocese’s ‘Common Fund’, the fund from which the priests are paid. This fund is now at an all-time low and we need to build it up.
So the Diocese has introduced a special ‘Summer Dues’ appeal in the hope of making up some of the short-fall. ‘Summer Offering’ envelopes are available in the church.
These envelopes may be returned to the Parish Office or handed in to the Sacristy or to any of the priests.
We are very aware that these have been challenging times for everyone and we do appreciate all the many ways in which you have already given us your support.
Wishing you every blessing,
Frs. Peter and Alan
