Weekly Bulletin 22th & 23th October 2011
Thank you for last Sunday’s Offertory Collection of €1321 and the Share Collection which amounted to €983.
The theme of this year’s Mission Sunday is ‘Together in Faith’. The universal mission involves everyone, everything and always. The Gospel is not an exclusive possession of those who have received it, but it is a gift to be shared, good news to be passed on to others. The 1,762 Irish missionaries working in 84 countries have been supported by the prayers, sacrifices and material help of countless people over the years. With this in mind we ask parishioners to be as generous as possible to the collection for Mission Sunday which will replace the Share Collection at all Masses this weekend.
