About Parish Office, Wicklow

The Parish Office strives to be a friendly and welcoming office to all its visitors and callers.

It is an extremely busy office with the daily administration and general inquiries being the main function of the office on a day to day basis.

This includes working with the Priests, Parishioners, the Parish Pastoral Council, Sacristans and dealing with the secretarial requirements of the various Parish Pastoral Groups.

The office is also very involved with the arrangements and bookings for Baptisms, First Holy Communions, Confirmation and Weddings. The preparation and printing of all the necessary booklets for the Sacraments are also completed in the office, along with The Annual Wedding Anniversary & Bereavement Masses.  We would liaise with the appropriate people for all of these occasions.

The Weekly Newsletter and the back of the weekly Missalette are produced by the Parish Office, which, provides all the news and on-going events in the Church and Parish.  The Parish Website & Facebook Page are also updated and maintained by the office.

We look after the Christmas and Easter arrangements, schedules and contacts and all that goes along with those occasions. Planned Giving Envelopes, certificates, wedding/baptism packs, supplies for the Churches, Centre and Office etc are also all organised from the office.   Registers are updated as required both manually and electronically.

Although no money is kept on the premises all online financial transactions, accounts, payroll, income & expenditure are completed in the office along with the recording of planned giving and other monies in accordance with the new Charities Act.  Both the Common Fund and Share collections are also recorded and forwarded to Archbishops House.   Child Safeguarding requirements are rolled out from the office and the necessary works, with regard to Garda Vetting etc are followed up on.

The booking of the De La Salle Pastoral Centre is arranged from the office along with whatever queries, monies, paperwork and organising that goes along with that.
