4. The Department of Education is currently conducting a Primary School Survey that will determine the future provision of Primary Schools and indeed could lead to lasting changes in our schools.  In simple, direct terms, we are being asked if we want our schools to stay Catholic, or if we want that to change.   Parents  have your say before 16 December 2025.  

5. Thank you to all who contribute weekly to the Church Envelope Collection by way of Envelope or Standing Order to the Bank.  The New envelopes for the coming year, starting on this weekend the 7th of December have been distributed throughout the Parish.  If you do not already have a box of envelopes and would like your family to contribute, there are boxes available at the back of the Church or from the Sacristy.  We would appreciate if you would put your name and address on the front of the envelope.  For those who live outside the Parish, and have been contributing to this collection, we also say a big thanks.  You might collect your box from Patricia in the Sacristy.  We appeal to every family to lend their support to this vital collection.  If you follow our Mass on the webcam we appeal to your generosity to consider making a donation by using the Donate Button on the St Aengus Parish website.   Thank you.
