The shops are already filled with lovely things for the upcoming Christmas season! It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of planning and buying, and at the same time feel overwhelmed . There’s also an opportunity to be a bit more mindful in our shopping and mindful of others for whom Christmas time will be difficult.
Our parish will be supporting Willow Domestic Abuse Services by collecting items that are on their wish-list:
| Vouchers for any amount | Supermarkets (Lidl, Aldi, Tesco, Supervalu, etc.) Clothes (Dunnes, Penneys, etc.) Toys (Smyth’s Toys Superstores, etc.) Homeware and electrical (DID, Choice etc.) |
