Bishops Appeal –

Thank you to those who supported the Appeal for Pakistan & the Niger.
Our good attendances at the Harvest Thanksgivings means that our
giving towards the normal fund will be good. As the Cahir collection at the Festival Flowers went to the Restoration Fund, the collection at the Carol Service will go to Bishops Appeal.

Bishops Appeal –

There will be a special collection in all our churches on Sunday,
12th September for the relief of the suffering caused by the floods in
Pakistan and a similar disaster in the Niger.
All collections at our Harvest Thanksgivings go to the Bishops Appeal.

Bishops Appeal –

The theme for this year’s Bishops Appeal is “The Water of Life” – all
Harvest Thanksgiving collections will go to this project which seeks to
provide clean water ; especially to those on the African continent who need it so badly.

Organ Marathon –

The final sum raised by the bishop form his Organ Marathon is €56,292 . Our diocesan Outreach Project in Seoul, South Korea, which assists in the ministry to Anglicans in the that areas by the Ven. Paul Mooney, former Archdeacon of Ferns, Bishops Appeal, the Church of Ireland aid agency, Protestant Aid will benefit for this amazing effort. As a result, our bishop doesn’t seem inclined to sing “Come, ye thankful people, come,” at the moment!!! Thank-you to all who supported this effort.

Organ Marathon –

Bishop Michael player “Come ye thankful people, come” on all but one of the organs in our parish. Kilvemnon was not visited as there has been no service in the church for many years and is effectively closed for Public Worship.
Thank-you to those who turned out and sang along. We will be sending our donation towards the three charities who are to benefit form this diocesan effort; Protestant Aid, which assists in helping members of our Church who are in need of finacial assistance, Our diocesan Outreach Project in Soul, South Korea, which assists in the ministry to Anglicans in the that areas by the Ven. Paul Mooney, former Archdeacon of Ferns and Bishops Appeal, the Church of Ireland aid agency.
