The Parish Mass will be at St Paul’s Church on 31 January at 10am, when we will observe
Candlemass. It will be followed by a Parish Lunch, which also gives us the opportunity to celebrate
St Paul’s Patronal Festival. There is a list in each church to sign if you are stopping for lunch.
If you have sponsored Fr Craig’s Decembeard Challenge in aid of Bowel Cancer UK please let him
have your contribution before the end of this month.
Over the last few weeks additional Advent and Christmas services and activities at our churches have
resulted in collections and donations totalling £1,420! We have also sent a cheque to the Children’s
Society for £239.25, which was collected during the very well attended Christingle Service.
