We will be into the last month of 2017 on Friday– it’s hard to believe it! Our monthly focus for December is threefold – The real meaning of Christmas – Doing something for others (The Capuchin Day Centre for the homeless and the Fr. Peter McVerry Trust) and – Compliments and good deeds.

We are encouraging all our boys to do jobs to earn money or dip into their moneyboxes to buy a supermarket voucher or to make a cash donation. These vouchers will be given to the Fr. Peter McVerry Trust.

We have been in touch with Brother Kevin Crowley in The Capuchin day Centre for the homeless and he has told us of items needed.
