Connor Docherty

one of our new members of the Church, has decided to run a sponsored 10K, to raise money for CARITAS diocese of Salford. There is a sponsorship form at the back of the church there is also a QR code to scan, if you are able to help in in any way he would be most grateful, as I am sure will be CARITAS

Charity Clothes box

Thank you for all the contributions to the charity clothes box, it has already needed to be emptied.  Please keep up the great work and support this great charitable work

Please continue to pray for peace.

During the two rather “rocky” weeks through Eastertime, there were some horrific images once again come from the Middle East.  With major threats to not just that area but could have swelled into something much more catastrophic worldwide.  As these images continue to make headline news around the world, please continue in your prayers for a halt to this senseless violence, and that God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, will foster love into the lives of those in conflict with one another.

Never underestimate the power of prayer.

 Weekday Mass

I would like to encourage you, if you are able, to join us for weekday masses on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Frday at St Joseph’s, Mossley.  I always think that beginning the day with holy Mass is a great way to begin any day.  Why not think about it and come along to join us?

Uppermill Charity Shop.– We are looking for more stock for the shop.  If you have anything you might like to donate, please either leave them at te back of the church or, deliver them to the shop on Tuesday and Wednesday between 9am and 12 noon, using the back door of the hall, next to the front door of the presbytery.  Many thanks, as always.
