Finance Committee
The committee was set up in July 2024. This followed the gifting of two generous legacies to the parish.
The committee comprises Fr Michael Gannon, with parishioners John O’Sullivan, Colette Lennon, and Breda O’Riordan.
The purpose of the committee is to serve as an advisory body to assist Fr Michael in subsequent financial decisions in order to benefit the parish, the church buildings, and the grounds.
The group meets twice a year and keeps the parish informed of their decisions. It is imperative that the committee reflects financial transparency in the administration of the parish gifts, and of the overall parish income.
The structure and Constitution of the committee follow Diocesan guidelines.
The committee has been crucially involved in the decision making process that has resulted in a considerable renovation of the Church
At the inaugural meeting of the FInance Committee, Fr Michael clearly set out his proposed improvements for the church interior, and for projects in the church grounds.
The commitee agreed that some of these tasks were long overdue.
To this end, Fr Michael has recently met with the Diocesan Property Manager and a building surveyor.
Works to the church are currently going through the procurement process. These include new lighting, partial carpet replacement and new paint work. It is hoped these works will take place over the summer and autumn of 2026.
Exterior work already completed includes two new parish notice boards and the installation of security cameras.
You will also notice that the parish website is being refreshed.
