As you can see, a new Tabernacle has been installed behind the Altar in the Main Church. It is a worthy New Home for the Lord Jesus in the Main Chapel. It also provides a focal point and a renewed aid for prayer in the Church. As you can appreciate, despite the Tabernacle being “second hand”, it was still a considerable cost. Inclusive of everything (also brass Sanctuary Lamp holder), the total cost amounted to €5046.25. Should anyone wish to assist in defraying part of the cost, any donations would be appreciated.

I wish to acknowledge with grateful appreciation the receipt of €500 from parishioners kind donations towards the Tabernacle.

Bridie Boyce would like to thank everyone who gave donations in return for wedding negatives taken by the late Denis Tynan. €1,635 has been presented so far to the Alzheimer Branch of Glenties Day Centre.

The organisers of the recent Steak Night Fundraiser in aid of the Glenties Day Care Centre would like to thank all those who helped and attended. Special thanks to those who gave voluntary donations to this worthy cause. After all expenses were paid, we raised €1,600. Thank You for all your kindness.
