DIOCESAN COLLECTIONS:
There will be a collection after all Masses next weekend. The collection will be split between ‘Day for Life’ and the Catholic Communication Network.
Day for Life is the day in the Church’s year dedicated to raising awareness about the meaning and value of human life at every stage and in every condition. The Church teaches that life is to be nurtured from conception to natural death.
The Communications Office of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales supports the bishops, in their witness and engagement with current issues, and the Church more widely in promoting the Gospel through digital, social, print and broadcast media.
SUNDAY COFFEE ROTAS:
