FR TOM WRITES
Following the culmination of the Easter season and the celebration of Pentecost last Sunday, today we celebrate Holy Trinity Sunday and next Sunday, Corpus Christi. May these Sundays after Easter help us to live our daily lives as Christians, seeking to share in the love and unity of the Trinity and drawing strength from our Lord in the Eucharist. May God bless you all in the coming week.
READERS, ALTAR SERVERS & EXTRAORDINARY MINISTERS
If you are a reader, altar server or extraordinary minister of Holy Communion (those who appear online) you are kindly asked to complete a consent form which can be obtained either from the sacristy or the parish office. For those under 18 years, the form should be completed by the parent. This is not required for the congregation.
WELCOME MINISTRY (& COLLECTORS)
Would you like to help at the back of church by welcoming people to Mass, giving out books and taking the Sunday collection? Some Masses are well covered, others still need help. Either way, you would be welcome to join a team of friendly and welcoming parishioners who help our Masses start and run smoothly. If you can help, please speak to one of the priests or contact the parish office.

Our next meeting will take place on Thursday 4 June 2-4 pm in the parish centre.
