Countdown to Summer Fair starts here…

It’s time to start scouring your home for items surplus to requirements that could be donated to the Summer Fair, which takes place this year on Saturday, May 28th. Unwanted gifts, worn-only-once clothes, toys in good condition, all types of bottles,books, CDs and DVDs, are just some of the things on the “Wanted” list.
The hard-working Fair committee is always looking for new volunteers to come along and help, particularly putting up the tents and gazebos on the morning of the fair. In recognition of all the hard work a gourmet breakfast is served to all volunteers. This is a great way of meeting fellow parishioners and making a contribution to the Summer Fair which is so important to the financial health of the parish.
If you think you could get involved in any way, these committee members would be delighted to hear from you by text or call: Dominic Galvin 086 820 9645; Roxanne Allen 087 668 8289; Lynn Wiley 087 637 7085; Mark Finney 087 284 4777 and Stuart Robertson 087 666 2724.
