All are welcome to come and learn more about our faith and support those who are seeking to become Catholics. IF you would like to know more, please speak to Fr David.

FUTURE MASS TIMES: As most of you will be aware Fr Tony was poorly while I was away. After much reflection we have agreed that he should no longer be committed to celebrating a public Mass on Sundays. This means that our Mass times will have to be adjusted so that I can cover all the Masses. Sheets are available on which I ask you to state your preference for the new Mass times. These must be returned by 19 November and the new arrangements will begin on Sunday 3 December, the First Sunday in Advent. Please keep Fr Tony in your thoughts and prayers.

WELL DONE to the Minnie Vinnies at our primary school, who raised £381 by baking cakes and organising a Coffee Morning in aid of Macmillan Nurses!
