SHARE - NEWSLETTER - November 25th 2018
Dear Friends I am very much aware of the many financial calls that have been made within the Catholic Church in recent times and I am genuinely grateful for the generous response that has come especially from Mass-going Catholics.
Share, our diocesan development fund, is still an important funding lifeline for the many services that support the pastoral outreach of the diocese as well as support for poorer parishes.
The coming years will be crucial for us in our efforts to sustain a lively Church and its varied witness to the message of Jesus Christ. Together with the Diocesan Finance Committee, it is my intention to ensure that limited funds are used in an optimal way and that our services are marked by a style of sobriety befitting the Church.
The Share newsletter gives you some information on the Share Collection and the way it is utilised. I am sure that you will see how worthwhile and necessary the service is in supporting the Church right across the Archdiocese.
With renewed thanks and prayers, THE SECOND COLLECTION, SHARE, IS A CONCRETE EXPRESSION OF COMMUNION BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THE PARISHES OF THE DUBLIN DIOCESE.
YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT FOR SHARE IS VITAL TO THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH.
• Your support helps provide immediate financial support for lower income parishes in difficulty. Church renovations and repairs, development of Parish Centres and assistance with maintenance costs are a priority for the SHARE Building Fund.
• Your support for SHARE helps promote the Catholic Faith throughout the 199 parishes of the Archdiocese, giving a particular priority to the spiritual care and evangelisation of young people through the work of the Office for Evangelisation and Ecumenism.
• The children learning in our Catholic Schools in our parishes come to know Jesus Christ with the support provided by the Education Secretariat. SHARE funds their work promoting partnership in Religious Education between Home, School and Parish to help children develop a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
• SHARE funds Diocesan Offices which assist parishes in meeting their obligations and responsibilities in the areas of charity regulations, data protection, financial management, health and safety and employment legislation.
• Your support for SHARE helps the Diocese employ appropriately qualified and trained lay men and women to work in lay ministry. These lay workers collaborate in close partnership with the priests of the parish and the Parish Pastoral Council in the service of the Gospel and the mission of the Church at local level. These Pastoral Workers are funded in part by the SHARE Pastoral Services Fund.
• SHARE funds the work of the Office for Financial Development, which has helped parishes raise funding for new and renovated Parish Pastoral centres. Over €1.2 million in financial commitments for our parishes was developed in 2017. These funds complement and extend the work of SHARE.
• THE RETURN ON YOUR WEEKLY INVESTMENT IN SHARE IS SIGNIFICANT AND IS ESSENTIAL TO THE MISSION OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF DUBLIN. SHARE SUPPORTS OUR PARISHES, PRIESTS, DEACONS AND LAY PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER ON A SHARED MISSION
• FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PARISHES • EVANGELISATION AND LITURGY PROGRAMMES • CHILD SAFEGUARDING AND GARDA VETTING • RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION • PASTORAL WORKERS AND CATECHISTS • PARISH FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS • ARCHIVES AND DATA PROTECTION • PARISH EMPLOYMENT AND HR SUPPORT, PARISH FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SUPPORT • FAITH DEVELOPMENT WITH YOUNG ADULTS
