Parish Christmas cards

May be an image of christmas tree, indoor and text that says "CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS from Ballinderreen CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS from Kinvara K"

Parish Christmas Cards are now available in the porches of St Joseph’s Church, Kinvara, and St Colman’s Church, Ballinderreen. €3 each. A Novena of Masses will be offered during the Christmas season for those to whom they are sent. The proceeds will go towards the upkeep of the Churches and the mission of the parishes.

We are using the honesty system again this year because of the pandemic. Please put the money in the brown envelopes provided, and, for Kinvara, put them in the letterbox of the presbytery, and for Ballinderreen, put them in the letterbox of the Parish Office. Please don’t use the white envelopes of the cards for the money or there won’t be enough envelopes for the cards!

Trócaire East Africa emergency collection: Thank you

Bishop Brendan Kelly has written to say thanks for your contributions to the recent Trócaire East Africa emergency collection:

The returns so far received from parishes across the diocese reveal that there has been an outstanding response to the Trócaire Emergency Appeal for East Africa on the weekend of 6th/7th November. This is good news at a time of much uncertainty on so many fronts, and so good to see as we enter Advent, the season of promise and of hope unborn. We too must be agents of salvation for others, beginning in the here and now. Very many parishioners have chosen to be so, with great generosity, in response to this unfolding devastation for our brothers and sisters across five countries in East Africa. I write to say a simple ‘Thank you’. The Saviour born to us at Christmas will bless and reward you.

Trócaire Emergency Collection

The Bishops of Ireland have called for a national Church collection on the 6th and 7th of November to support Trócaire in providing life-saving aid to vulnerable communities in East Africa and DRC, where millions of people are being pushed to the edge of starvation.
Trócaire teams are already responding on the ground, and are ready to provide more life-saving assistance but need more resources. Any support the Parish can give to this Emergency Appeal will help the urgent work of Trócaire and their hardworking local partners. For more information see www.trocaire.org
There will be a basket at the back of the Churches this weekend into which you can place donations. Thank you.
