GROWING IN FAITH:
Fr Tom & Fr Vincent are very grateful to everyone who has responded so generously so far. We want to reassure everyone who may have concerns, that the Priests never know, and do not want to know how much anybody gives at any time. When we contact you to come and see us regarding Growing in Faith it is merely so that we can share with you the visions of the Diocese as we have been requested to do so by Archbishop Vincent Nichols. Fr Tom and Fr Vincent are as uneasy about this process as you are.
We are now offering people the chance to come and see one of the Priests individually or as part of a group. You can decide what you are comfortable with. At no point are you under any obligation to sign up to anything and you can also change your mind at any time. We hope you all understand and look forward to being able to meet with many more of you.
CAFOD:
There will be a collection after all Masses this weekend. Envelopes are available at the back of the Church today for your donations. If you are a UK tax payer please consider completing the gift aid form attached to the envelope – thank you.
