Aid
to the Church in Need.
I have received a lovely
letter from Rachel Buckley from CAN, thanking us for the donation of £588.15 to
help with their work around the world.
She said she felt very at home in our two parishes and would like to
come back in a few years to tell us what the ACN have been up to. I look forward to that.
SPUC is back…
S.P.U.C.– The Society for the
Protection of Unborn Children, has been active in Mossley and Ashton for the

Our reformed group has now
had its first meeting in quite some time.

the unborn, please see Hugh Fitzpatrick.
Do you know anyone who
might like to become a Catholic?

Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults

GOLD
Have
you got any gold that you do not use? A lost earing, a broken bracelet? Anything you are not using or has been
sitting in a jewelry box unloved? We can collect this gold and weigh it in;
this would be a great source of income for both of our parishes.
Please hand items to Fr Jim. Thanks!
