Please, don’t lose heart. Please, get deeper rooted. When a plant is deprived of some surface water, it has to put down deeper roots. We are going to have to put down deeper roots of the Spirit and we know that God will nurture us.

Sheila Gallagher Presented with a Papal Blessing from CAFOD

Big congratulations to Sheila Gallagher, who was presented with a Papal Blessing from CAFOD at the 11 a.m. mass on Sunday 3 February 2019 for all her hard work over the years for CAFOD.

The Papal Blessing is a certificate of thanks from CAFOD and Pope Francis to thank her for her dedicated work for over 25 years for CAFOD.

She has work tirelessly for campaigns over the years concerning CAFOD’s Global Justice.

She had a reception in the Parish Centre after the mass where many parishioners joined her to celebrate.

      

      

Thank you Carol and Welcome Annette!

This Sunday, 18 November 2018, we saw the departure of our dedicated Fairtrade representative, Carol Knight (on the right below).

She is off to a new parish and we wish her well – we are sure that she will continue her good work there too. Fr. James presented her with a bottle of wine – Fairtrade of course – at a little get together in the Parish Centre!

Annette McAndrew (on the left below) will be joining us as the Fairtrade representative for the Parish.

A big Thank you from Poor Clares!

After the Harvest Festival in October 2018, some parishioners took up the Parish offerings to the Poor Clares in Arkley.  The Poor Clares were very grateful for your thoughts and offerings.

They will be praying for the Parish as a whole, and most especially for the children undertaking their First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation, as well as the young adults undertaking Confirmation.
