CAFOD Harvest Fast Day: 2nd October
CAFOD invites you to take a Fast Day envelope home with you today, read Margaret's story and pray and fast in solidarity next Friday. Please return the envelope with your offering next weekend.
Thanks for your support.
Friends of the Homeless
The Friends would like to thank the kind parishioners for their recent donations totaling £85.00.
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.

There will be a meeting for all First Communion Catechists to discuss First Communions on Tuesday 29th September at 6.00 pm in the Upper Room.
