An opportunity for all Christian communities and Churches in Britain and Ireland to join together in reflection on racial issues, in prayer to enable a Christian response, in fundraising for the continued support of national local initiatives, and in a commitment to action.
Practised, musical contributions on Saturday evenings after Mass will be up and runnin’ and groovin’ soon. Musicians and singers are exhorted to get their ten minutes a day in now!
Deanery Clergy Meal / Barbecue We host the local clergy, including those departing and arriving this summer, on Tuesday 4th August from 1.30pm. Helpers for before, during, and after sought. Anyone who signs up will be equally lavishly watered and fed! Please send me an email or drop a note through the letterbox. Gregory
Thank you to everyone who has supported the prayer garden through donations of money, plants, and equipment, or by helping with digging and weeding. Together you raised £310. After initial plant purchases, there’s approximately £62 left over to purchase spring bulbs. Special thanks to Andrea for installing the external tap. If you would like to donate or help with ongoing garden maintenance, please speak to Anthony or Christine. Thank you for your continued support
(Next meeting on Monday 7th September ) [The group has donated £25 to parish funds. Received with thanks]
In the first instance I’m establishing a list of ministries where people work side by side. Gregory
(14th and 15th August) There will be prayer in and around the Marian Garden just before Mass, followed by a procession into Mass. Please arrive in good time, grab a hymn book, and head outside. In the event of inclement weather – eg snow – we shall start in the hall. Please bring your rosary beads and your chosen decade. This is an important devotion for our children and teens.
