There will be ‘Welcome Mass’ for Fr. David and Fr Gabriele on Friday 13th October at 7.30 pm with the main celebrant being Bishop John Sherrington. After the Mass there will be a reception in the Parish Hall. You are all warmly invited.
FR JOHN WHOOLEY:
We will be having a collection for Fr John this weekend after all Masses to thank him for all his work and support in the Parish over the past year. Fr. John has been invited to celebrate the 12.30 pm Mass on Sunday 1st October, followed by refreshments in the Hall.
PRE ORDER YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE!
Following the success of last year’s trial, pre-orders are being taken for low-needle drop Christmas trees which will be available for collection from mid-December.
All proceeds are in aid of the Hatters Explorer Scout Unit (where most of our Scouts go), who are planning an expedition to Peru next year where they will help build a thermal mass greenhouse for locals to grow their own food in. The deposit is £10 - the balance payable on collection. Price depends on height of the tree. See the poster at the back of the church or call Joe Sutton on 07773 808156.
HATTERS FUNDRAISING CAKE SALE:
Next Sunday, 1st October, between 9 am – 1 pm also to raise funds for the Hatter’s Peru Project. Homemade cakes welcome!
