Like many congregations, fund raising plays an important part in the life of our parish. These range from traditional activities, such as coffee mornings, through to seasonal favourites like the sale of Christmas puddings and Easter chicks.
A new venture was introduced with the publication of our first parish calendar in 2009. This calendar comprised photographs of the local area and was tremendously popular with visitor and local alike.

The major fund raising event for the parish takes place each summer. The Flower Festival alternates with the Craft Fayre. Both of these events are very popular and draw interest from a wide area. It was the turn of the Flower Festival to take place in 2011.
From time to time other events are arranged. An evening visit to nearby Carnasserie Castle was arranged to hear some of the history of the castle and enjoy the playing of a number of young, local pipers. This event was open to the the local community and was well supported. Similarly, a heritage evening was held at St Columba’s, Poltalloch.
