Sincere thanks to all who contributed to the Sunday Offertory Collections and the Dues during 2011. Offertory Collection = Day - to- Day upkeep of each church, repair & refurbishment of parish buildings, churches and the running expenses of the relevant parish area during the year. The Offertory Collection also makes a major contribution in topping up the shortfall in the Diocesan Services Collection from the parish. Dues = Support and upkeep of priests \n parish & Diocese. Money isn't everything. But it sure keeps the children in touch!
