The Weekly Offertory Envelope: Thanks to all who have begun to use the Weekly Envelope.  There was a great response last week. You are encouraged to embrace this new way of making your weekly donation to St. Michael’s Parish by placing the envelope in one of the Collection Boxes in the Church each week. In the packet there are two envelopes together and you tear them down the middle to separate them for each week.  

Those who choose not to use the envelope can place their donation in the boxes as before or you can donate online by going to the website – stmichaelsparishtipperary.ie and pressing the Donate button.

Seeds of Hope:  This is the Pastoral Plan for our diocese of Cashel & Emly for the next five years after listening to people in all of the 46 parishes. A plan on paper is worthless – it needs to be brought to life by people in all our 46 parishes working with it.  An Information Evening for Tipperary and surrounding Parishes will take place in the Marian Hall on Thursday 24th Feb at 7.30pm. Take note of the date and keep it free so you can attend. 

Newsletter:  Items should be left in the parish office by Thursday noon.  Do not leave copy of the newsletter in the church after you have used it.
