'Join Our Boys'
As you know many volunteers are working tirelessly to raise money for the trust and are making a huge difference but we still need more help nationally to keep things moving along. We are deeply humbled by the support given by the parish and would like to thank everyone involved. We would just like to acknowledge all the goodwill and effort that has been shown to us to date. It means so much to us. At this stage our main goal is to keep marching, keep positive and somehow maintain hope. On behalf of Paula, Pádraig, Archie, George and Issac.
