Please have a look at the photos made at the farewell party for Fr David on Sunday, 28th July 2024.

As announced by Father David last Sunday he will be leaving the Parish in August and Father Jude Ifezime CSSp has been appointed as our new Parish Priest. As is fitting, we will be having a farewell party for Father David on Sunday, 28th July in the Parish Hall after the 11am mass. All are invited to bring some food to share as we wish Father David well for the future and say thank you to him for his 3 years of service to our community. From this weekend there will be a collection box in the porch for those who wish to give cards and gifts to Father David.

There will be a Parish fundraising Freddie Mercury night with a professional impersonator from the West End. More details soon!

This week we are asking for donations of bottles for our bottle stall and donations of Raffle Prizes and gifts for our Gift Tombola.
These include unwanted Christmas and Birthday gifts, new games and toys, unused toiletries and shop vouchers etc. Please also ask local businesses if they can donate gift cards, vouchers or gifts.

We are also asking for donations of bottles of Pimms for our Pimms stall. As Pimms is expensive, maybe two families could club together and buy a bottle?
