Sunday: A virulent outbreak of dry rot has been discovered in the hall kitchen and this means there has to be a chemical treatment of a significant area followed by a full clean and redecoration of the kitchen. Until all this has been done the kitchen is not useable due to the amount of dust generated by the work and the strong smell of the chemicals being used. The work is progressing well. The new fans have been installed, the floor is in place but not the floor covering. The joists and the wall have had their final spray with powerful chemicals after which there will be a deep clean. The paint work is completed. It looks as if it will be the first week in November. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. The main hall is useable.

Diary Dates:
24th November: Rent-a-Table to raise funds for the Parish Project. This is an opportunity to show off your skills and talents in a different way. It will take place in tandem with the Coffee Morning after Mass. You ‘buy’ a table for £15 which will go to the Parish Project Fund and from it you sell whatever you want as long as it is legal. It could be knitting, homemade cards, no restrictions. What you make, you keep, unless of course you want to make a further donation to the Parish Project. For further information contact Frances Divit, 444.1635 or Ben Malone 443.1708. There is a list at the back of the Church on which you can sign if interested.
With every best wish and blessing to you,
your families
and all those who are dear to you.
Monsignor Tony.
