Don’t forget to look at our new weekly saint bulletin board at the back of the church and in the weekly newsletter. The saints form an integral part of our prayer lives and serve as great sources of inspiration for us to model our lives on. The bulletin board will highlight the feast days of saints which we will celebrate throughout the week.
Lourdes Diocesan Associate Membership Scheme.
Could you help send somebody sick to Lourdes? The Lourdes Diocesan Associate Membership Scheme is the backbone of fundraising which helps send very sick people to Lourdes every September. By donating any amount you will in return gain associate membership and will receive a membership / donation card. During the pilgrimage a Mass for all Associate members will be celebrated at the Grotto. Contributions like these can really help to make a difference to the life of a very sick person. Please give generously.
You can enrol / donate after mass this weekend at the stations provided or by dropping in to the parish shop or pastoral office in the parish centre during the week. Thank You.
