RWANDA “STREETS AHEAD” CONCERT:
A Very Big Thank You to all those who contributed to the wonderful evening of song last Saturday.  A fantastic total of £1,175 was raised for the charity.

STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN:
Our Stewardship Campaign takes place this weekend, when we will encourage parishioners to think about the best way to give to the parish financially.  I know money matters are not really what we want to focus on at church, but from time to time it is both necessary and important.  For us, the most efficient way for you to give is by monthly Standing Order, and (if you pay UK tax) to Gift Aid this contribution. There will be an opportunity for you to sign up to Standing Order/Planned Giving and Gift Aid at Mass today.  As always, I am very grateful for your generosity, in so many ways, to the life of the parish.  Thank you.
