50th International Eucharistic Congress Ireland
June 10th to 17th 2012

4th National Collection
This National Collection on the weekend of 5th & 6th May 2012 will be taken up in every parish in Ireland. As it is such a large celebration there are many challenges involved and we want to ensure that the whole Church, both here in Ireland and further afield, will see the Congress as an opportunity to deepen our faith in the Eucharist. Your support of this national Collection is essential to meet the costs and will be very much appreciated. Envelopes for your contributions are at the end of each seat in the church or in the packets that were in the Church now or some time ago. We ask the usual collectors to kindly attend for this special Collection.

If you consider travelling by coach on Tuesday 12th June for one day as a group from the parish please remember that all advance booking must be done by May 9th. Entry cost is € 30 per person plus the cost of the coach. The coach will only travel if enough people give their names to Fr. O’Rourke before May 11th.
