CLONFANLOUGH CHRISTMAS CHOIR
If you’d like to be involved in forming a Choir for just Christmas Eve and Christmas Day only– could you contact me. Your help is needed.
OFFERTORY BOXES New boxes of envelopes to cover from Nov 27th (1st Sunday of Advent) to the end of 2017 should have arrived to your home at this stage. Thank you to our distributors. If you haven’t received one or would like a box of envelopes just let me know (Tom Cox 086 8319500)
I am most grateful to all who contribute to this parish by any means and if you’d like to give a yearly donation instead of the weekly envelope system– that is, of course, fine.
Something to think about for some, would be if you would prefer to enact a Direct Debit/Standing Order in place of the envelope and we can help in this regard by providing a form that you fill in, giving your bank permission to deduct a particular sum on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis. I appreciate your generosity and support to the mission of this parish .
