MISSIO RED BOXES: In 2021 St Vincent’s raised £1040.57 through our Red Boxes and donations to Missio and the Mill Hill Missionaries. Thank you! Our missionary community here at St Vincent’s is part of a worldwide network of people supporting missionaries through prayer and financial assistance. The founder of this network, Pauline Jaricot, will be beatified on 22 May this year. This remarkable lay woman’s life was marked by intense suffering and great trust in God. Pauline’s life helps us to see how every prayer however short, and every contribution, however small is valued by God and can transform the world for the better. Thank you for being part of Pauline’s legacy. There are some red boxes waiting to be collected in the main entrance.
THANK YOU to all who have helped in any way to make our Holy Week and Easter celebrations so special: especially our musicians, our servers, readers and ministers and those who have arranged the flowers and cleaned the church. It has been wonderful to come together without restrictions after 3 years!
