NOTES FOR PEWS CONCERT:
Nigel Blomiley says, “My admiration and deep gratitude to the choirs for their work and performances last Saturday.  Special thanks to Amaya Pitharas, Peiro Mattei, Philip Donnelly and Robin Stapleton for their participation and, not least, to the audience and those who donated to our grand total of £651.”

SICK AND RETIRED PRIEST’S FUND:
All money that you give will be used to ensure that sick and elderly Priests receive the care and support that they need.  The fund is entirely dependant on donations and each year more priests need its support.  If you pay tax please complete the Gift Aid Form on the donation envelopes, as this will add 28p to every £1 donated at no extra cost to yourself.
