AUGHRIM
CHURCH WEBCAM FUNDRAISER
To facilitate online access to parish information and to our church services, we plan to create a parish website, and to have a live streaming camera installed at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Aughrim. The estimated cost is circa. €6,000. We are currently embarking on a fundraising drive to cover the cost of the works.
If you would like to make a contribution to the fundraiser for the website/webcam fund, please complete donation forms located in the rear of our parish church and return with your donation in an envelope marked ‘Website/ Webcam Fundraiser’ to the sacristy or in the collection baskets at any of our Masses from the start of July. Alternatively, you can contact any of the parish pastoral council members to arrange collection of your donation.
