The local branch of St. Vincent De Paul thanks the many people who supported the recent Christmas appeal and who have supported the work of the society throughout all of 2020. With churches closed for long periods owing to the pandemic, the introduction of the ‘envelope’ meant that parishioners remained very supportive of the needs of St. Vincent de Paul and for this we say a sincere thank you. Aware that the pandemic has placed some people in difficult financial situations, St. Vincent de Paul is there to help in so far as it can. Requests for help can be put in writing and placed in the ‘letter box’ of the Confraternity Rooms, St. Patrick Street, Ballybay or by phoning the Freephone number 1800 677 777.
