Charitable Donation Scheme
Tax Relief Donations
As a registered charity Ballygall Parish can claim tax relief on monies donated.
This means if you donate a minimum of €250 in one year, our Parish is entitled to receive tax relief from the Revenue Commissioners. It applies to all cheque and cash donations which are made in instalments over the year or as one
donation during that time. Standing orders also qualify.
We can only claim tax relief on money we know who it has come from. This is why we ask you to identify all donations to us by putting your contact details on:
Weekly Envelopes
Christmas Dues
Easter Dues
November Altar List
Maintenance Envelopes for essential Church Repairs.
The process for claiming the refund is then completed by us online, if it is your intention to donate more that €250 please collect your CHY Form from the office.
Thank you.
Crosscare 2026
The annual collection for Crosscare takes place on the weekend of September 19/20 in place of the usual Share collection. Parishioners who may not be able to contribute on these dates can support the appeal online at www.crosscare.ie.
Crosscare, the social support agency of the Archdiocese of Dublin, provides practical support to people at some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Every day Crosscare works alongside families worried about losing their home, young people in need of guidance and support, people experiencing homelessness, and migrants and refugees seeking safety and a fresh start.
The theme of this year’s appeal is Hope & Resilience. It reflects the remarkable courage shown by the people Crosscare serves every day and the hope made possible through the generosity of parish communities.
Please follow the link below a letter from Archbishop Farrell together with a letter from Crosscare CEO Conor Hickey

St. Mary’s Cathedral
St Mary’s Cathedral will close temporarily from August 17 to allow essential conservation, accessibility and renewal works as part of the next phase in its development as the Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Dublin.
Following a competitive procurement process, a “Letter of Intent” has been signed with the main contractor. The construction budget is 17 million euro (excl. VAT). Planning permission was received from Dublin City Council last October.
During the closure period, major diocesan liturgies will take place in St Andrew’s Church, Westland Row. The Palestrina Choir will be based at the College Chapel on the All Hallows Campus of DCU, by kind permission of the University. Parish and sacramental life will continue at St Joseph’s Church, Berkeley Road, where the Cathedral Girls’ Choir will also be based.
Lay Led Prayer Service
As we enter the August holiday season, we would like to advise that our weekly Monday Lay Led Prayer will take a seasonal break.
Can we take this opportunity to thank all the volunteer Leaders, Readers and everyone who supported us.
We pray that the summer brings you rest, joy and many blessings and we look forward to welcoming everyone when we resume in September.
