THIS WEEK IN FAUGHART, KILKERLEY,
The girls are holding a fundraiser to raise the money for their fares. They are opening a Pop Up Shop in the Longwalk Shopping Centre from February 11 to February 16. The first two days are for setting up so the shop opens on Wednesday, February 13. Donations of clothes, shoes, books, toys or anything that would sell in a Pop Up Shop greatly appreciated as would anyone that give an hour or two of their time in the shop as it takes four people to cover each shift. If you could help out in any way please contact the committee. This year we are in a position to assist with the costs involved and are offering 2 fully paid fares to anyone who is or has been ill. We are also offering 6 half fares to anyone who wishes to travel as a pilgrim. Please ring Fr. Gerry Campbell on 9374125 or Kathleen McCreesh on 087 9117732. If there are any Youth who would like to join the pilgrimage please also get in touch.
