Eileen Whittaker
The whole parish family has been totally shocked and saddened to hear of the unexpected death of Eileen Whittaker. Those on the Saturday Coffee Rota would like to particularly mark her passing by saying a massive "thank you" for all that she has done over her many years of service with the team. "We are truly grateful for all that Eileen did, she was our mainstay and our friend and will be sadly missed by us all". A Requiem Mass will be said for the eternal rest of Eileen's soul on Tuesday 26th September 2023 at 10.30am.

Short Mat Bowling
Due to recommence from Monday 2nd October 2023 at 7.30pm. All welcome, please bring indoor shoes.
Parish No Dig Garden
We are going to try and make a no dig garden behind the presbytery. In order to do this we will need a lot of cardboard to cover the areas we intend to use it on. If you have any large pieces of cardboard or large cardboard boxes could you please put them on the patio behind the presbytery to be sorted for use. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has donated plants and supported our project.
11.30am Mass Coffee Rota
A new rota will be available for collection from next weekend. Many thanks to our team of dedicated volunteers who provide this service throughout the year. If you are interested in helping out then please speak to anyone in the kitchen.
