CHURCH HEATING
Work commenced on the reinstatement of the church heating system on Monday 10th January 2022. The contractor, engaged with the approval of the diocesan authority, is G & J Engineering Limited. Heating has been restored in the church. Thanks to all who contributed to the heating fund. Since August ’21 according to the records €11,310 (subject to audit 21/22) has been donated to date. This will mitigate the costs, approximately €50,000. Another heating repair job in the sacristy area is still pending. Thank you for your generosity. In a building such as the Church, ongoing repairs are required. Some contributions were donated anonymously. Where identity/contact details are made available, the donations are acknowledged to the donor(s).
CHRISTMAS DUES 2021
To date, €10,760 has been donated to Christmas Dues 2021. Thank you.

THE SYNODAL PATHWAY
A “Synod” means walking together. In each diocese in the Catholic Church, a synodal process has begun which will culminate with a Synod of Bishops at the Vatican in October 2023, each parish will attempt to discern what God wants of its people at this particular time. Meetings, for this purpose, will be held at the parish level from March this year.
Parishioners will be invited to attend meetings to make known their concerns and to talk about their experiences of church. This will be a time of prayer, listening, and ultimately discernment.
