Collection for World Youth Day: ‘Last weekend Hayley Pleskach, Rebecca Prendergast and Charlotte Keane held a collection to fundraise for their Pilgrimage to Krakow, Poland to represent St Mary’s Parish in attending the World Youth Day 2016. We would like to sincerely thank you for your amazing generosity in this fundraising. Thanks to you all we have raised €1645 which will be used to fund our accommodation, flights and help other pilgrims in their fundraising. We are really looking forward to this experience and hope to make you all proud on our excursion. Here’s to many more years of youth activities and participants in our Parish.’ – email received from Charlotte.
