PARISH VOLUNTEER GROUPS:
Next Sunday, 19th May, several of our Parish Groups will be in the Hall after all Masses to chat about their work and involvement in the Parish. This would be a great opportunity for us all to discover what is done, and what needs to be done, around a busy parish, from reading to cleaning – maybe you could volunteer a couple of hours yourself? Pop in next Sunday and find out!
