'Miscellany' funds reach €5,000

The contributions to the pre-Christmas 'Miscellany on Sunday' fundraiser for Fr John Bermingham's mission in Mozambique have now reached €5,000, writes Brian Byrne.

Fr John and his mother Phena wish to thank all those who donated to this cause at the annual get-together in the Bermingham family home at Mooretown.

"It was a wonderful outcome for the funds for the mission, where Fr John works with Fr Brian Holmes from Cork," Phena says. "It couldn't have happened without the enormous support of our community, friends and neighbours. Thank you all again."
