Weekly Offering Envelopes
This coming week the parish collectors/distributors will be delivering the weekly offering envelopes to each home. Sincere thanks to all who give of their time and also for their help throughout the year. Also, new parishioners wishing to make a weekly contribution through the Offering Envelope collection towards the upkeep of the parish may do so by contacting the parish office or sacristy.
