Children's Liturgy

Our next Children's liturgy will be during the 9.30 Mass on Sunday 26th February 2012. This week, however, we shall have a session for the children doing their preparation for the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. Please encourage parents to bring their young children.

Parish Finances

We have just received the audited April 2011 financial statements from the diocese. Copies are on the notice board in the porch.

Baptismal Font

Rumour has it that the original font from church, after having been stored in the Container, ended up in someone's garden in the parish. If anyone knows anything about this, Fr Peter would be very pleased to know. It would be wonderful if we could return the original font to the church where it belongs.

Church Flowers

The Ladies who do the church flowers are looking for some extra help. If you would be prepared to give them a hand please contact Jean Eastell on 327 2514 or Joan Jones 336 3262.

Prayer Breakfast

Lists of dates for the ecumenical prayer breakfast are available at the back of church. Please take one. Thank you to the team which hosted the breakfast at St Mary's yesterday.

Craft Fair

We are considering holding a talent exhibition in or around April 2012. If anyone would like to take part or offer assistance in any way, organising, exhibiting, demonstrating etc., please contact Pat Doyle on 339 0416. We would be pleased to hear from people involved in all kinds of activity: crafts such as needlework, painting, drawing, woodwork, metalwork, card-making, music, flower craft, in fact anything that pays tribute to the skills that God gave us.
