Ceremonies in our Parish

First Holy Communion

Congratulations to the boys and girls from St. Patrick’s School who made their First Communion this weekend.

Thanks to our Principal, Ms. Aoife Slack and all the Staff and teachers and SNA’s in our parish schools for their help preparing these children for this important Ceremony and to their parents and families for their support and encouragement in handing on the faith to their children.

Baptism

Recently, we welcomed Nancie Connolly, Klara Berrill, Mason O’Leary and Xander & Rya in Baptism.

If you would like to register your child/children for Baptism, please contact the Parish Office.

We ask Parishioners to pray for all children and their families.

We are waiting for word from EIR regarding the issue with our phonelines.  The last message received was that the ‘fault is still under investigation’! We are hoping the issue is rectified very soon.

If you have difficulty getting through, please e-mail us at secretary@sjparish.ie. We apologise for any inconvenience.

CHY3 & 4 – Charity Tax Relief

You might be aware of the Revenue (CHY) Charity Tax Back Scheme.  The collective donations of an individual of over €250 are eligible for this scheme and the Parish can claim 20% of the donation back through this scheme.

If you donate to the parish, and for those who use the Weekly envelopes, where the total is over €250, we will send a Claim form which we would be grateful if you could sign and return.

These forms will be printed off and sent in the coming weeks.
