"In this never-ending time of fund raising it is vital that we do remember our parish and come out and support these events," Nessa told the Diary. "Our sincere thanks to all who supported us in any way, and a draft for €7,550 was presented to Parish Priest Fr Michael Murphy to help with the repayment of the loan on our Parish Centre."
