Can you play the Piano or Organ?
Can you play the Piano or Organ?

We are very grateful to all our musicians, but we are now desperate for players to join a rota for the Saturday Mass at 6:00pm at OLSS.

Perhaps you could help us once a month? Hymns are already chosen so can be given for practice in advance.

Please if you can help contact the Parish Office or see Cathy Greening after Mass. Thank you

CAFOD Advent Winter Appeal
CAFOD Advent Winter Appeal

CAFOD Partners Caritas Jerusalem work in the camps supporting vulnerable families such as Yasmine, a mother with a small baby with essential supplies and mobile medical clinics. Yasmine’s family have been forced to flee more than once and now live in a camp in Gaza. Without the supplies they need to stay warm, or access to proper medical care, many families are at real risk from serious illness in the winter months. You can see more on this appeal on CAFOD.org.uk. Thank you again for your generous support and your essential prayers for all those working in dangerous situations to support our brothers and sisters. Thank you for your continued generosity!

Notre Dame School - Calendar 2027
Notre Dame School – Calendar 2027

Dear Parishioners,

The children of Notre Dame du Rosaire have created a beautiful Our Lady of the Rosary calendar for 2027. As you can see from the accompanying images, they have worked so hard on their artwork and we are very proud of the results! If you would like to purchase a calendar, please follow the link below and complete the order form. We will then arrange to get your calendar to you.

Order here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/m5fuX0NdN3

We may also sell some calendars at the back of the church later in the year, but ordering in advance will guarantee you a copy. All money raised will go towards supporting our school.

Thank you for your generosity and continued support.

Hospital Admissions

If you, or any of your family or friends are in hospital or due to go to hospital, please let the parish office know.

This is currently the only way that the clergy are aware of a Catholic being admitted.
