YEAR OF MERCY DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM: Saturday 9th July.
If you signed up for the coach to Walsingham it would be very helpful if you paid for your seat now, or let us know if you no longer want it so that it can be given to someone else. The cost is £10/person. Please bring to the Office as soon as possible, or put an envelope through the Parish letter box with your name, and “Walsingham” on it. We have changed the starting time to 7 am, which is the latest we can leave to get to Walsingham on time.
