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. There will also be the opportunity to buy raffle tickets. If you would like to donate a prize please either bring it along on the day or hand it in after Mass.

All are welcome to support this event. All proceeds go back in to supporting the work of the school
All Hall Users Please note: The refurbishment work on the ladies toilets is now well 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.
Day By Day: The November issue of this Booklet is now available for Parishioners who order it at the Card Stall. Living Faith is also available for Oct/Nov/Dec.
With every best wish and Blessing
To you, your families
and those who are dear to you.
