💚💛🐣 Easter Sunday Bake Sale 🐣💛💚

Our annual Easter Sunday Bake Sale will take place on
Sunday, 5th April
after 10AM Mass in Ratheniska Church.

This year, we are delighted to share the proceeds with the Cuisle Centre, which provides emotional support to people affected by cancer, including those caring for loved ones, from diagnosis through treatment and beyond.

As cancer has touched so many of our lives, we felt this was a meaningful opportunity for us, as Gaelic 4 Mothers & Others, to give something back.

Please support us by:

🍰 Donating baked goods
☕ Joining us after Mass for a cuppa and a chat
🧁 Buying some delicious Easter Dessert
🎫 Buying a raffle ticket 3 for €5

All support will help the wonderful work of the Cuisle Centre Cancer Support Group.

If you can not attend on the day, you can still support us by purchasing a raffle ticket via Revolut:

💚💛 Thank you for your support, we look forward to seeing you on Easter Sunday🐣
