COMMENTS

Supportive Parishioners

Many parishioners were supportive of the fundraising activity carried out. This highlights the effectiveness of the launch carried out the previous day (20^th November) and last Sunday (14^th November).

Donation

Some generous parishioners who didn’t want to buy anything gave donations instead. Again, this highlights the effectiveness of the launch carried out.

THANK YOU

We would like to say a big THANK YOU to all parishioners who had supported our fundraising activity on Sunday. Thanks to you, we have managed to raise an encouraging sum of money!
