You can help our Parish at no extra cost by using gift aid. Gift Aid allows charities like our parish to reclaim income tax on donations you make to us through the weekly envelopes. We can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It doesn’t cost you any extra, the money goes directly to the Parish.
If anyone would like to receive envelopes to contribute to the weekly collection, please leave your name in the Sacristy in Coagh or Drummullan. This financial support is much appreciated for the upkeep of our Churches.
