“Let the one among you who is guiltless
be the first to throw a stone at her!”
John 8:1-11
Parish Financial Statement
We are indebted to our Parishioners
for their financial support toward the parish over
the years. The Weekly Collection, Parish Draw and
Building Fund Collection and other fund raising ventures
has been of great assistance towards reducing our
debt and at the same time enabling us to carry out
essential work in 2009 such as the new floor in the
Church transept, new upholstery for the Church kneelers,
veneering of pews, Stations of the Cross, balcony
and balcony stairs, cleaning of Church gutters and
drains and the purchase of two candelabras. Unfortunately
we have had considerable delay in the completion of
the church steps, but with improvement in the weather
conditions they will soon be completed to enhance
the appearance of the Church entrance and provide
safer access to the Church.
Other works still to be carried out
both inside and outside the church, such as exterior
church lighting at the front, improving the safety
of the church belfry, enhancing the car park environs
and creation of disabled parking bays near the front
of the church with perhaps a Church parking pass.
Other works associated with the church will need attending
in the near future. Your financial assistance is important
and we are grateful for your continued support and
generosity.
