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.
School Open Afternoon
The open afternoon at St Edward's Catholic Primary takes place on Thursday 5th October at 1.45pm. All families welcome, especially for children due to start Nursery or Reception in September. Tours of the school and a chance to speak with the Headteacher and other key staff. It would be lovely to see you there.
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
Oldham Foodbank
Sadly the foodbank is running low on just everything so please continue to make donations of non-perishable goods. The Foodbank is always most grateful for your contributions and values your generosity and kindness highly. Any foodstuffs can be can be left under the long table in the porch.
Asylum Seekers Sash Appeal
Sash? Socks and shampoo! These are needed urgently but donations of any other toiletries will be most welcome. If you would like to make a cash donation to the Project, please put an envelope marked Asylum Seekers in the SVP white post box in the Church Porch or contact Neil on 07909 953458 or email him on Neil.faragher@sky.com for bank details to make a direct payment.
