The Christmas decorations are up. The letters have been sent to Santa. The children are so excited counting the sleeps to the big night.

But their mother, Jane, can't wait for Christmas to pass. She hopes this year would be brighter, but her income has been devastated by the high rents and spiralling cost of living. The heating has been off for two weeks. The Christmas tree lights are only turned on for an hour every evening. Jane wonders how she's going to pay for the children's Christmas presents or how she will afford the shopping for the family's Christmas dinner.

Our job, in St Vincent De Paul, here in Lucan with your help, is to take the wonder away from Jane and replace it with the true magical wonder of Christmas. Your help takes the wonder out of Christmas for families in need, it has the power to change the course of a life.

THANK YOU for helping to give Families the Wonder of Christmas
We would like to thank those who have contributed to our funds throughout the year. With your continued support we will endeavour to offer support to people in Lucan who need a helping hand. Your generous gift will make sure families in need can share some of the wonder of Christmas.
For your kindness and compassion, thank you.

This year, the Christmas Appeal for the St Vincent De Paul takes place at all Masses in Lucan this weekend 6h/7th of December 2025
We thank you for whatever support you can give us and as always donations can also be left at the Sacristy.

We wish you and your families God's blessings, peace, and good health this Christmas and always.

St Vincent De Paul
