St. Mary’s Parish
Key points from the Finance Council Presentation, 17 May 2026
The parish’s Property and Finance Council has an advisory role, supporting the Parish Priest in matters relating to parish property and finances. At weekend Masses, there are two collections:
The First Collection, in the blue bags, together with Dues, supports priests serving throughout the Diocese, including sick and retired priests.
The Share Collection, in the red bags, supports low-income parishes, administration, pastoral services, and faith development programmes across the Diocese.
None of this income remains in the parish to meet its day-to-day running costs.
For its running costs, St. Mary’s Parish depends mainly on Family Offerings—through Standing Orders, weekly envelopes and online & once-off donations. Parish income from family offerings has fallen steadily to €100,000 last year.
Unfortunately, this alone does not cover the everyday running costs of the parish.
Currently St. Mary’s relies heavily on approximately 325 families who contribute financially.
This is only about 1 in 10 Catholic families in the parish.
Nearly 200 families contribute over €250 annually, allowing the parish to benefit from the Charity Tax Rebate Scheme. For every €250 donated, the parish may receive an additional €112 from Revenue.
In 2024 alone, this generated over €36,000.
So, we simply ask,
If you are not yet contributing Family Offerings, please come on board and complete a Standing Order .
For more information, please contact the Parish Office at 6217041 or secretary@lucanparish.com or drop into the Office.
Thank you sincerely for your generosity, your support and your commitment to St. Mary’s Parish.
