Fabric & Finance
General
The Parish has a strong Finance & Fabric Team, comprising Fr Joe Mackle, Parish Priest, parishioner Brian Donnelly, coordinator, and ten parishioners, advising on day to day matters of Finance, Church & House Repairs, Health and Safety matters, and decisions on short, mid and long term planning of Parish Development. They also have the facility to call upon more specialist advice, where appropriate, and to receive and decide on quotes for work to be done.
As a Parish our income is very much dependent on the generosity of friends and parishioners. Income is derived from Church collections, specific regular bank standing order receipts, some under the Gift Aid Scheme, and other normal donations, all of which are very much appreciated.
The Parish also has a 200 type club fundraiser, The 29 Club, which provides both additional income to the Parish and prizegiving draws each year. These give members the opportunity of winning a monetary prize, currently three £1000 prizes and more than ten £100 prizes each year. The proceeds are used for nominated charities, for Church development and also put a wee smile on the face of any lucky winners!

Gift Aid
If you are a taxpayer, and at no extra cost to yourself, you can elect to make your donations under the Gift Aid Scheme. This will allow the parish to claim back from HMRC a proportion of the Income Tax already paid on your offerings – at no additional cost to yourself!!
Finally, if you wish to make a donation or legacy towards our Church Development Fund, our annual Lourdes Pilgrimage Fund or, indeed, towards any of the many charities we support, please direct them via Fr Joe, Mgr Jim Ryan or Brian and we will ensure they meet, where possible, your specific purpose.
