Autumn Prayer
O God of Creation,
you have blessed us with the
changing of the seasons.
As we embrace these autumn months,
May the earlier setting
of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.
May the crunch of the leaves beneath our feet remind us of the brevity
of this earthly life.
May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us
your breath of life.
May the scurrying of the squirrels and the migration of the birds
Remind us that you call us to
follow your will.
We praise you for your goodness
forever and ever.
Amen

Baptism
Parents who wish to register their children for Baptism must attend a Baptism Preparation meeting. Our next meeting takes place on Tuesday, 1st October.

CHY (Charity tax back scheme)
Our Parish is eligible for the Government Charity ‘Tax Refund’ (CHY) Scheme.
This Scheme is available to Charities who wish to claim back the tax on donations of any individual of over €250 to a Charity.
Donations from our Parishioners are eligible for this scheme, and it means the Parish can claim at least 20% of the original donation total back.
Parishioners who contribute by Weekly envelope or Standing Order, where the total annual contribution is over €250, will shortly receive a Claim Form. We would be grateful if you could date and sign same, include your PPS number and return to our Parish Office. We will then be able to apply for this tax refund.
When you receive your Certificates, we will include a CHY3 (Enduring Certificate) which covers application for refund of tax for five years and a CHY4 (Annual Certificate). You can chose whichever certificate you are happy to complete and return to our Parish Office, or drop it into our Sacristies.
Whichever Certificate you chose to return is entirely personal (you can choose CHY3 or CHY4).
When you receive your Certificate, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Parish Office. Thank you for your support which is very much appreciated.
