PARISH OFFICE TIMES FOR JULY:
During the month of July, the Parish Office will be taking messages and Mass requests only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so please keep queries of a more complicated nature for the other three days!
The Office will be open on:
Monday 10.30 am – 1 pm
Tuesday 12 noon – 2 pm
Wednesday 10 am – 2 pm
Thursday 9 am – 1 pm
Please note the Office is closed on Friday this week.
CAR PARK:
On weekdays, some people are double-parking - and parking in the middle area - regardless of how many empty spaces are available. If you want to arrive early, you must accept that you cannot also be the first out. If there are empty spaces available when you arrive, they must all be used before I will accept double parking. We are fortunate to have such a good car park, please use it thoughtfully.
Thank you, Fr. David.
