THIS MONTH'S PARISH DRAW
Thank you for your continued support of this important source of Parish income. This year’s Parish Draw will begin again this month of March. Parish Draw envelopes are available at the Church porch or from your promoter.
Please complete your entry details and return the envelopes by placing it in the Church collection boxes or in the post box outside the Parochial House.
We are also very grateful to those who continue to contribute by standing order. Your ongoing generosity is sincerely appreciated.
The first draw has to begin on Thursday, 26 March 2020. However, as some promoters have not yet been able to return their collection into the Parish Office, the first draw will be postponed. The draw will now take place at the end of April, when both the first and second draw will be held.
We thank you for your understanding and your continued support of the Parish through this important source of income.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PARISH WELCOME GROUP
We extend a sincere welcome to all our parishioners Especially those who live alone or just feeling lonely Or those of you who feel marginalised, Whilst enduring the pain of isolation. We extend a heartfelt welcome to the bereaved, Hoping you find peace, healing and sanctum, In our Church, Whether attending Mass or lighting A solitary candle. We extend a welcome to you , if you are just out of bed, Or just out of prison and have not seen the inside of a church, for twenty years …. or more. We welcome all who are young And those who are not so young, Who feel religion has been forced on them, Or have a problem with 'organised' religion. We extend a very warm welcome to those of you Living here, far away from your homeland, Or on holiday, Where the Mountain of Mourne Really do sweep down to the sea! We especially extend a welcome to the little ones, From the babies in arms, to the lively toddlers, As Jesus himself said, "suffer little children to come onto me" And remember, these little children will one day, inherit the Earth.
