In anticipation of the expenses to be met by the Parish in hosting the Ordination of parishioner Charles Coyle and his Mass of Thanksgiving on 27th & 28th June 2019, a number of fund-raising initiatives have already taken place and other events are planned. The support of parishioners for these events is greatly appreciated.

The Core Planning Group would also welcome additional ideas for fund-raising events—large or small. For example, some individuals or parish groups might want to organise Coffee Mornings in the Parish Hall after Sunday Masses, with donations of home baking and people to make and serve teas and coffees. Other events are, of course, possible. Please phone Donald Campbell (07840 640915) to arrange Hall bookings or email stcolumbkille@btconnect.com with other ideas.
