Following the announcement by the Holy See that Pope Francis has ‘returned to the House of the Lord’, Bishop Fintan Gavin invites the people of the Diocese of Cork and Ross to unite in prayer to God at this time.

“I invite the parishioners, priests, deacons and religious of our diocese to join as one with the faithful across the globe as we commend Pope Francis to the Lord. We give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of Pope Francis as shepherd of the people of God and we thank God for his selfless service and dedication to the end of his earthly life. We remember Pope Francis as one who challenged us to reach out to those on the margins and to bring God’s mercy to all those we encounter. We pray together that Pope Francis’ call to all of us to make this Jubilee Year a Year of Hope may be fulfilled."

The parish financial accounts for 2024, prepared independently by a chartered accountant, were approved by the parish finance committee at their meeting on 20^th March, and will be sent presently to the diocesan offices.

The committee:

noted that the major expense of the work on Barryroe church (€109,000) does not appear in the accounts as the bill was paid in January of this year, and there is upcoming work on Courtmacsherry church and grounds which will also be paid within the current year, both significantly reducing the bank balance of the parish as they appear in the 2024 accounts;
the diocesan contributions (10% and 8% of the offertory collections) concerned only the second part of the 2023 payment, and none of the 2024 payment (made in recent weeks);
recalled having given Barryroe National School a gift of €50,000 and a loan for the same amount, both for the new car park;
was grateful for the bequest from a deceased parishioner for €10,000 received late in 2024;
was cognizant that the bequest from the late Ms Terry Dwyer (died 3 November 2023) has yet to be received by the parish.

Finally, the committee noted the importance of the Income Tax Rebate scheme to the parish finances, and how close the sum of our ordinary expenses is to the ordinary income of the parish.

Here is a summary of accounts:
