EASTER COLLECTION

The Easter Envelopes are used for collection at Masses on Easter Day.

This is the traditional ‘Thank You’ collection
by parishioners to the priests
of their parish for their work and service.

The Christmas Offering together
with the Easter Offering forms the Priest’s
 main source of income for the year.

Priests depend on generosity of parishioners
 for their personal income.
