News and Information

CAMBODIA LINK: Thank you so much for the many donations I have received to help build the classrooms at the Jesus Farm; already we have raised £2000. Perhaps during Lent you might consider some sort of sponsored event or fundraising event at home to raise funds. It was wonderful to visit FR Totet recently and celebrate the Vigil Mass with him and the parish. I also visited the Jesus Farm and saw the site where the classrooms will be built and met some of the children who will benefit from them. I have posted photos on the Parish Facebook Page if you would like to see them. We now have a special bank account for our link with Fr Totet and his work in Cambodia. When he visited last year, we promised to help him raise $40,000 to build a classroom to support his work with children. If you would like to donate, please make cheques payable to “Knutsford and Lymm Cambodia Link.” Cash Donations would be welcomed and if you would be interested in taking out a standing order to make a regular donation please give your name to Fr David. You can also make payments direct via BACS to Knutsford and Lymm Cambodia Link, Lloyds Bank, Account No. 68321468; Sort Code 30-15-52.

MANY THANKS to the Ladies Group for £220 received from the recent coffee morning and cake sale which has been deposited in our Cambodia Link account.

MUSIC GROUP AT 11AM MASS: We are not a formal choir but help to lead the singing at the 11am Mass each Sunday and would welcome anyone who enjoys singing to join us, especially with Lent and Easter approaching. If you would like to support us, please speak to John after 11am Mass.

THE ENQUIRY GROUP: Our next meeting will be at 7pm this Thursday, 27 February in the hall.

ST VINCENT’S PRE-SCHOOL: If any parents have younger children who are due to start Pre-school before September 2025, please ensure that their child’s name is on the waiting list.  
We are starting a Holiday Club from the spring half term in February.  This is for children up to the age of 5 who are attending either St Vincent’s Pre-school or the reception class in St Vincent’s Primary School. The club will run for 47 weeks per year, closing for 2 weeks at Christmas and the last 2 weeks of the summer holidays.

ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT from 11.30am until Noon on Saturdays.

SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is available after weekday Mass and during Adoration on Saturdays.
