Summer Collection;
The priest’s Summer Collection will be taken up
this weekend. This is one of the four priest’s
collections during the year.
The weekly envelope collection is used exclusively
for the upkeep of parish property and the running
expenses of the parish.
Many thanks to all who donate so generously
throughout the year to our parish.

The CHY2 tax rebate forms for 2014 have been

If you pay income tax as PAYE or as Self
Employed, and you donate to the parish using the
weekly envelope, and receive the form you are
asked to please fill it out and return it.
Each year the amount raised through these rebates
is deposited in order to help meet the costs of

from this scheme.
