Diary Dates:
18th November: Parish Project Table Sale from 11.00 a.m. until 1.00 p.m. It’s like a car boot sale without a car ! The idea is that you book a table and then you choose what you sell from it (as long as it is legal). Any profit you make is yours unless you choose to donate it on. The cost of booking a table is £20.00 and there is a list at the back of the Church on which you can indicate if you are interested in supporting this event.
Many thanks: The new running total for the Parish Project Fund is now £3286.56. Well done to anyone who has contributed in any way to achieving this total. If you want to do some fundraising just let me know so that it can be advertised and also to coordinate dates etc.
All Hall Users Please note: The refurbishment work on the ladies toilets is underway. As a result they are sealed off and unusable. Toilet facilities are available beside the Committee Room and at the toilet in the side hall normally reserved for people with a disability. This situation will last for a while so please be patient.
With every best wish and Blessing
To you, your families
and those who are dear to you.
Monsignor Tony.
