St. Paul's Knitting Group
At our recent Christmas fairs we raised €3,500. We donated €2,500 to St. Paul's School and €1,000 to Father Tony, a Jesuit priest who works with children in Syria and Gaza making up food parcels etc. so badly needed.
Of course none of this would be possible without the support of very generous people who donate raffle prizes and purchase our many craft items. We thank you very much and wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful and healthy New Year.
We will be back again fund raising for Easter and look forward to your continued support.
May God Bless you all.

St. Paul's Knitting Group
We are a group of ladies who meet every Tuesday from 9am. to 12noon in the Pastoral centre.
Since the end of Covid we have raised €18,600 for various charities and good causes.
Our initiatives have included knitting for premature babies and providing support for Féileacáin which is an organisation for babies who go to heaven too soon. We do this by knitting small blankets and little dresses for memory boxes.
We also knit muffs for Alzheimer patients and provide blankets for nursing homes in addition to holding charity funding events at Christmas and Easter.
Your continuing support is greatly appreciated

Hello Everybody,
On behalf of the knitting group, I would like to say a big thank you to all who supported us in our recent fundraiser for our local school. The amount raised was a fantastic €4,250.
We couldn't have done it without all of you.
Mr. Feargal Brougham, principal, St. Paul's Senior National School, was delighted with the cheque and will put it to good use for children with special needs in St. Paul's school.
