MoPSALENTEN “DRY-OUT” FOR THE CLERGY
Having successfully completed our 40 Lenten liquor-less days, we are now looking to
our generous sponsors to pay up! If you have not yet done so, please see me after
Mass today – I’ll have the sponsor sheets ready to hand! Many thanks to all who
have already contributed – over £800 so far collected for the Missionaries of the
Poor.
CHURCH BEAUTICIANS ROTA
Is there anyone who could volunteer to join the group who keep our church so
spotlessly clean? It is not too onerous a task as your turn only comes round once a
month. If so, please give Marguerite Pocock a ring on 01525 381991, or speak to
Father John.
PROCLAIM’15
We have all been asked by Pope Francis to consider ways in which, as Christians,
we can “Proclaim the Good News”. You are invited to contribute to the initial
discussion to be held on Monday 27th April, at 7.30pm, in our Parish Hall.
