Parish of Saints Columbanus and Gall - Weekly Bulletin
July 3rd & 4th 2010, – 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
We thank you for last Sunday’s Offertory Collection of € 1203, and the Share Collection which amounted to €893.
The Share collection at Masses this weekend, (July 4th & 5th) will be replaced by the annual Collection for the Pope and Pontifical Charities (Peter’s pence).
There are Gorta bags for collection in the church porches. Please take one with you if you have any clothes, shoes etc. to donate to their Charity shops throughout the city. They would greatly appreciate if you could return your filled bag to the church on next Sunday morning before 12 o’clock. Since 1965 Gorta has supported over 1,500 projects in some of the world’s poorest countries, your support will help them continue the fight against hunger and poverty.
Ministers of the Word are reminded to collect their copies of the July – September issue of “Guide for Readers” from the Sacristy.
