Parish Development:<\/span>\u00a0Recently the Parish Finance Committee, in consultation with the Diocese, has been assessing the current use of Parish properties. Since the Parish Office has moved over to the Church, the former Curates’ house, known as Rosnaree, is no longer required. The preferred option is to sell this property and money raised from the sale will be invested into the development of the remaining Parish properties.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
