CHURCH COLLECTION Sunday 23 June: Envelope – £2250, Loose Plate – £735, S. Orders £715

 

GRAVEYARD SUNDAY: Mass and Blessing of the graves in Milltown cemetery will take place today at 3pm.  Since there will be extensive road works on the Castledawson Road, parishioners are asked to park in O’Donovan Rossa GAC grounds or St. Mary’s Grammar School.  Your cooperation would be appreciated.  The front of the cemetery will be a drop-off zone for elderly & infirm only.

FIRST FRIDAY OF JULY: Mass 7.30pm in St. John’s Church Milltown; the sick & housebound will be visited this week.  Novena to St. Pio 11am, Magherafelt.

MINISTERS OF THE WORD & EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS: new rotas available for collection in the sacristy.

CHURCH HEATING FUNDRAISING

We are furnishing each household in the Parish with a donation pack containing twelve envelopes, July 2013 – June 2014 for monthly donations.  We would be grateful if envelope distributers would call to the Parish Centre to collect packs for their area.  We thank them most sincerely for their help in this regard and appreciate their time and effort.

From next Sunday there will be a second collection after communion when these envelopes can be returned, in order to keep it separate from the normal collection.  Any donations will be gratefully received & we are suggesting that each family try to donate £200 over the twelve months, less than £4 per week.

Of course one-off donations will be welcome & those who wish to donate by Direct Debit should contact the parish office.  All donations may be gift-aided.  We will inform parishioners how this building fund is going every three months.  We thank you in anticipation for your generous response to this much needed appeal in these difficult times.
