Dear
Parishioners of St Oliver Plunkett,
I write to inform you of the progress
of our Diocesan Appeal ‘Planning
for the Future’ both as regards
your parish and the aims of the Appeal.
You the parishioners of St. Oliver
Plunkett were set a target of £67,133.
You made commitments of £78,494
of which you have now contributed
£54,396 with a further £7,133
in gift aid, making a total of £61,529.
My sincerest thanks to all.
I appreciate and understand that
a donation pledge over a number of
years can be demanding and stretching
financial contribution. I urge you
to maintain, if at all possible, your
commitment to enable the diocese and
your parish to continue to plan with
confidence for the future.
You will be pleased to know that
at present 61 of our 88 parishes have
exceeded their target and a total
amount of £3,053,903 has now
been returned to those parishes. A
further £125,000 has now been
assigned to the Fund for our Sick
and Retired Priests, £125,000
to Faith Development and £100,000
to the Cathedral making what they
have received £2,405,074, £2,405,074
and £1,924,059 respectively.
The generosity of so many parishioners
right across the Diocese to the Appeal
is enabling us to plan well for the
future.
I pray God’s blessing on the
parish of St. Oliver Plunkett
