PARISH BAZAAR: The annual parish bazaar will be held on Saturday 15th

help with planning and organising this event. All offers of help will be very
welcome. All invited to attend a meeting
on Tuesday 9th September at
7pm in the Presbytery. Please put
this date in your diary.
READERS: If you are
unable to read when you are due to, please find a replacement. It is not easy for someone to fill in at the
last minute without time to prepare properly.
Readers at 10.45am – during the summer when there is no choir or folk
group, the 3rd reader should read the Psalm and Bidding Prayers and
the 2nd reader should also read the Alleluia.
COFFEE
AFTER 10.45AM MASS: There will be no coffee after this Mass during
August. Coffee will be served again from
7th September. Apologies for
this. At the moment, there are not enough volunteers on the rota. If you can spare a bit of time after the
10.45am Mass to join the rota, it would be much appreciated and you would be
most welcome. Please talk to Claire
(416968). The new rota is in the
kitchen.
READERS’
PARISH WEBSITE: We are in the process of updating our Parish
website. If any of the group leaders would
like to change the contents of their website entries, please submit the revised
version to the parish office as soon as possible.
201 CLUB: Congratulations to our July winners: £100 won by Cameron Gray (77) and £50 by
Peter Gallen (125). There are still a
number of members who have not paid their subscriptions yet. Would you kindly do so as soon as
possible. Contact Tony on 672621.
OFFERTORY COLLECTION: The offertory collections over the past three
weeks amounted to £3901.17. The Day for
Life collection was £263.91. Thank you.
GOAN COMMUNITY: Thank you to the Goan Community who very
generously donated £397 to
BIBLE ALIVE for August - free from the Repository. If it proves to be popular, the cost will be
£1.95 each month from September.
PARISH
CENTRE: The parish centre corridor leading to the
church is being re-painted. Please could
all parents stop their children from putting their feet against the newly
painted walls and marking them – which is what happened last weekend. By doing so,
we can try to keep the Centre looking clean and bright. Many thanks.

for the Missions and world peace are being held during September and
October. 5 and 8 days by air from £380
(half board). Please contact Fr John
