The collection this weekend will be to support the work of the Sisters of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent in Bethlehem. The Sisters run the Crèche in what is difficult circumstances due to the ongoing war. Their mission has expanded to try to meet the needs of vulnerable children whether abandoned or deprived of a family environment both within the institution itself and through the services of the Social Services department. They also provide care and support for young unmarried pregnant women. Please give what you can and also pray for the Sisters and the children. Many thanks, Angela. For further information there is a recent newsletter from the Sisters on the church noticeboards.
