Stations of
the Cross
Every Friday during Lent
there will be Stations of the Cross at 6pm in both churches.
If you are able to join us
in this ancient prayer of the Church please try and come along.
An important question
regarding finances of the parish.
If you have not already
done so, would you be able to set up a direct debit or a standing order to pay
your offertory to the parish? If you can
do this, it would save a lot of time trying to balance our accounts and would
really help to cut down on the accounting workload (which is considerable). Please think about this and take a form from
the back of church. Thank you.
Any
news to share?
If
you would like to share news or information with the parish, why not use the
newsletter and the website? Please give
any information to Fr. Jim before noon on Friday when the newsletter is
compiled. Thanks.
Friday Soups for Lent are
back!
We
are offering a simple Friday lunch; every Friday in Lent (except Good
Friday). The idea is you join us for a
“simple” lunch, and give the money you would have used to make or buy your own
lunch as a donation to
The
Good Life Orphanage.
This is a chance to both do something “out of the ordinary” for
Lent, and also help raise funds for the poor.
We raised £132 on Friday, thank you to all who came, and those who
made soup!
All soups -
homemade
