Parish (Ten!) Week Draw
The parish Draw takes place after 10 am Mass in the Parish Centre, Stamullen this Sunday. We finished on week Six so we will recommence there.
We propose that we run three draws this weekend (6, 7, 8) and two (9, 10) next Sunday 23rd in order to finish the draw and to minimise the indoor congregating of people.
Because of these restrictions the draw will be confined to promoters only, in order to maintain distancing of two meters.
