St Patrick’s Day Thanks

Tom — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 18:11:14 +0000

Thank you to all those who made our celebrations so enjoyable – the musicians, singers, dancers, those helping with food and drinks and those who prepared the hall and cleared up afterwards. Special thanks to our school caretaker, Len Bullock.

Due to the generosity of those who gave raffle prizes and those who bought tickets we can send £310 to CAFOD’s Haiti Appeal.

CAFOD Lent Fast Day: 26th February 2010

Tom — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:13:28 +0000

This year is the 50th anniversary of Lent Fast Day and CAFOD are asking you to ‘give it up’!

Most of us usually give up something for Lent like biscuits, wine, a big dinner on a Friday. This year why not create some amazing changes for people who live in the developing world by giving the money saved to CAFOD?

The money you save by missing out on your favourite biscuits each day, for example, could go towards a bicycle to help a health volunteer take food to orphaned children.

Attached to this weeks Link is an envelope which you can use for your Fast Day offerings or at any time during Lent. Please return the envelopes either at the retiring collection next week or at any time during Lent.

In the church porches you will also find a supply of take home money boxes for your spare change. These can be returned on Holy Thursday.

CAFOD – Greenbelt Volunteers Wanted

Tom — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:21:10 +0000

Are you enthusiastic, energetic and free over the August bank holiday weekend (28th-31st Aug)? Then CAFOD wants to hear from you! They are looking for active volunteers (age 18+) to represent CAFOD at Greenbelt, a Christian music and arts festival, this summer. You’ll receive a free weekend pass and meal expenses, and in turn you’ll help staff the CAFOD stall and promote their Climate Justice campaign. You’ll also have time off to relax and enjoy the exciting festival activities. Make your own travel arrangements there and back and bring a tent; they’ll do the rest!

Email ckelling@cafod.org.uk or call 020 7095 5414 to sign up now!

If you are planning on being at V-Festival (22-23rd Aug) or Greenbelt Festival (28-31st Aug) this summer, but are unable to help out, do look out for them, stop by and say hello! They’d love to see you there!
