CALCUTTA CLOTHES COLLECTION

The funds raised from this clothes collection goes in total to help the underprivileged on the streets of Calcutta. Can you please place your unwanted garments in a plastic bag and leave by the side of the church for collection. Liam Coughlan, Jim O’Farrell and Willie Ryan will be around to take your items from 3pm so if you are collecting the children from school you can drop off your stuff. On past occasions this has been a very well supported fund raiser.
