Bernard Sheridan who has been an important part of our Parish Finance team for over thirty years is having to give up due to increasing work commitments. Our very sincere and grateful thanks to Bernard for all his efforts in the time he has very faithfully done this voluntary bookkeeping work. Bernard's work and commitment has been very much appreciated over the many years. We are therefore looking for, hopefully and ideally, two volunteers to take over and share this bookkeeping work. The time commitment would be roughly 4 hours per month plus the best part of a week to draw up the end of year accounts. It would be helpful if volunteers have a background in accountancy and are also familiar with the excel speadsheet bookkeeping system. For the handover, Bernard will be very happy to coach new volunteers. Please speak to Brian Donnelly or Fr Mackle if you are able to volunteer your help.

As we are levied on every first collection, and as we no longer have a second collection for the parish, how about holding or organising a fundraising event to raise non-leviable funds for this project, the approximate cost of which is £22,000?
