It will be taken up today, Sunday 8th February after Communion. The Collection was taken up in Killargue & Dromahair last weekend but many people who normally contribute generously were not present due to the dangerous roads. Anyone still wishing to make a contribution should put it in an envelope marked Lourdes Fund and place it in the Offertory Collection basket next week.

Clothing Collection There is a Clothes Bank / Container in the Depot Grounds. If you have old clothes for disposal, why not bring them there. Your contribution will help the parish and various charities. Currently people are leaving out bags of clothes at their houses to be collected by purely commercial operators & they rarely help any worthy cause ~ despite what a few advertise! And other clothes banks in the village contribute only a very small amount to the charities they advertise. Please do not bring books, toys or any items other than clothes! History is littered with wars which everybody knew would never happen. Enoch Powell.
