APPEAL - SISTERS OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS AND MARY:
Thank you to all those who gave so generously to the Mission Appeal last weekend by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. A staggering £2,522 was raised. If you would still like to give, please place your donation in an envelope, marked “Mission Appeal” and either pop this through the letter box of the Presbytery or give it to Fr Kevin.
SPONSORED WALK:
Anuli, one of our parishioners, completed a sponsored walk yesterday to raise money for the Guild of Our Lady of Good Counsel, a Catholic Charity that offers support to new and expectant mothers who otherwise may not feel able to keep their babies. They offer support, both practical, emotional and financial and are in need of funds to continue with this. If you would like to find out more, and feel able to contribute, you can make a donation online at www.justgiving.com/Anulika-Igboaka. Or else Anuli will be collecting sponsorship after all Sunday masses today. Thank you for your generosity.
BAPTISM SIGNINGS:
If you wish to have your child Baptised you can register that you want this done on Monday evening 6th September between 7 – 8pm. Please come to the Brown door. There will be a preparation session the following Monday evening 13th September at 7.30pm.
PARISH OFFICE:The office will be open on Tuesday and Friday only of this coming week. If you have a non-emergency query please use email rather than the phone on the days the office is closed as the answerphone is not always monitored. Thank you.
