THANK YOU for your generosity. The retiring collections last weekend raised £554.20 for the retired priests of our diocese.

LADIES COFFEE MORNING: Will be on Friday 6 February, 9.45-11.30am. Great cakes for sale and an opportunity for a drink and a chat. All proceeds to our Joint Parish Cambodia Link.

RECYCLED CHRISTMAS CARDS: We are delighted to share that £155 was raised and donated to the SVP Prison Group working with the Chaplain at Styal. Any used Christmas cards may be left in the box on the piety stall.

DIOCESAN YEARBOOK: The new Year Books are now available for £9.

JOINT PARISH CAMBODIA LINK: I am delighted to report that I have sent a further $15,000 to Fr Totet following your generosity before Christmas and a generous donation from a St Vincent’s parishioner. A total of $30,000 has now been sent in advance of our arrival in Cambodia on 2 February which is well on the way to reaching our target figure of $40,000 towards the building of the classrooms at the Jesus Farm.  Construction of the classrooms is well underway.
