HYDE PARK PRAYER VIGIL – 18th SEPT BIRMINGHAM MASS – 19th SEPT.
This parish has been allocated 141 tickets for Hyde Park, and 42 tickets for Cofton Park. They cost £10 and £25 respectively, which includes travel.
The Hyde Park event is set to finish at 9 pm, after which you would be making your own way home by Underground. Those who have put their names down for both events should know that the coaches for Birmingham will be leaving very early on the following day as Pilgrims are expected to be in place at Cofton Park by 8.30 am. At the moment there is not more specific information, but we will keep you informed.
If you would like to attend either event (or both!), please put your name down on the relevant list in the church porch. The lists will be open until they are full, so please sign up as soon as you can. Thank you.
CHURCH CLEANING:
Once again I am appealing for a few volunteers to help sweep and dust the Church. It takes little over an hour on a Monday after the 10am Mass, just once a month. Please give it some consideration – we have a beautiful Church, why not enjoy being part of a team to keep it looking lovely?If you would like to know more please contact the office or phone Eileen 0208 882 0379.
PARISH BBQ:
Very many thanks to all those who helped to organize, and those who supported, the BBQ last weekend.
