Arriving on Time for Mass

It is sometimes unavoidable that people arrive late for Mass, however, we would encourage parishioners to try to arrive five minutes before the start of Mass. This avoids unnecessary disruption and distraction.  Thank you for your consideration.

Making your Will?

It is essential that you specify clearly the arrangements you wish for your funeral.  A Catholic Funeral generally consists of Requiem Mass followed by burial or cremation.  (Being in church overnight before the funeral is optional.)  Please ensure that those responsible for making the arrangements are quite clear about your wishes.

Foundation Governors Needed

The Diocese of Westminster Education Service is currently recruiting foundation governors for 1st September 2009 to all Catholic Schools in Diocesan Trusteeship which includes Botwell Primary School .

This is a vital ministry in the Church.  As a governor you will work as part of a team and will be provided with the necessary information and training to understand the role.

A key element of the role is to preserve and develop the Catholic character of the school in accordance with the school’s trust deed.
