NEW CHURCH FLOORING:
Unfortunately, the work in the church has over-run and it is not likely that the Sanctuary floor will be finished before the end of this coming week. There is a wedding on Saturday 21st August, so it would be good if the church could be cleaned thoroughly on Friday after the 10 am Mass. Many hands make light work so if as many people as possible could come ready to clean the church on Friday morning at around 10.30 am that would be wonderful. In advance, thank you!
MASS THIS WEEK:
10 am Mass will continue in the Parish Hall from Monday to Friday this week. There are no 8 am Masses.
SPONSORED WALK:
Anuli Igboaka, a parishioner, is taking part in a 10 mile sponsored walk on Saturday 21st August to raise money for the Guild of Our Lady of Good Counsel. To find out more and to make a donation, please visit www.justgiving.com/Anulika-Igboaka. She is grateful for any contribution at all.
