Accord The annual collection for Accord took place last weekend. The amount collected was €646. Thank you for your kind generosity. Weekly Envelopes I would like to thank all those who contribute to this collection regularly and those who pay through Standing Order, as it is the only source of income for the Parish and goes directly to pay for light, heat, and repairs in both churches. I would encourage anyone who is not contributing at the moment to think about it and to only take a box from members of our finance committee at the end of the Church over the next few weeks if you intend to give whatever you can afford. I would also take this opportunity to thank the envelope collectors and the Finance Committee. New boxes are available as you leave the Church. Trocaire Trocaire Boxes are now available for collection at the back of the Church for those who didn’t get them through the schools.

Please all participants in your prayers. Irish Cancer Society Daffodil Centre is looking for a great bunch of volunteers.
