Through an oversight, incomplete lists ~ and pressure of work ~ some existing parishioners & quite a number of new ones did not receive their Offertorv Collection or Dues Envelopes for 2008. Please accept our apologies! In the interim, until matters are sorted out, perhaps parishioners ~ including those new to the parish - would put their contribution in an ordinary envelope with their name and address. It is particularly important to make a contribution to the Nigeria Mission Collection & Trocaire. Current parishioners might advise those new to the parish re Offertorv & Dues Contributions~ if asked. Thanks!
