Notice from St Vincent de Paul, Kilcullen

During these unprecedented times, life has changed in many ways. There is uncertainty about the economic situation of the country when this is all over, and that uncertainty causes concern. But the challenges of living with coronavirus in our country have again and again been balanced by the generosity of people in giving their time, their talents and their donations to help in whatever way necessary.

Kilcullen is a great town and community in which to live and has a reputation for lending a hand wherever it is needed. Kilcullen people have always been very good to the local branch of the St Vincent de Paul Society. Indeed, the staff of Cross & Passion recently set up an online fundraiser for Kilcullen St Vincent de Paul, and the local branch thanks them sincerely for this. All money and support given to Kilcullen St Vincent de Paul goes in turn to assist individuals and families in the Kilcullen area.

Unfortunately, one of the main sources of income for the local St Vincent de Paul society, has dried up as it was the monthly church door collection at weekend mass. However there are many ways to still contribute. There is a collection box on the main counter in Eurospar, and sincere thanks to Derek in Eurospar in Kilcullen for permitting collection in that way. Donations can be posted to Kilcullen St Vincent de Paul, c/o Mary Kelly, St Brigid’s Avenue, Kilcullen. Contributions can be transferred directly to the bank account of Kilcullen St Vincent de Paul at Bank of Ireland, Kilcullen, BIC: bofiie2d, IBAN: iS IE10 BOFI 90114012323210.

Donations made to the national society of St Vincent de Paul will only be directed to the Kilcullen branch if it is specified at the time of donation.

All donations made to Kilcullen St Vincent de Paul will be gratefully accepted and will be used at a local level.
