– Our parish has a number of big projects in progress at the
\nmoment such as the new organ, a ventilation system & new
\nspeaker system for the church & a new apartment, at Marias
\nMinde, for a priest. In order to complete these projects we have to
\ntake out a loan of kr 7 million,with repayment over many years,
\n& therefore we need to improve the parish economy. Regular giro
\ndonations from parishoners are very important, in addition to the
\ncollections at masses. There are 9000 households in the parish but
\nonly 115 people have signed a giro donation agreement. Everyone
\nwho signs an agreement is entitled to an Income Tax reduction for
\ntheir donation. More information, in Norwegian, is available at the
\nback of the church along with the form which must be filled in.
\nForms are also available on the parish website. Signed forms can
\nbe handed in to either the parish office or the sacristy. A big thank
\nyou to all who sign a giro agreement.<\/p>\n
