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. You may have seen pictures of the effect on the camps of the devastating floods caused by heavy rains. 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.

Please help us provide for the priests who have dedicated their lives to our parishes and parishioners by visiting the Priests’ Retirement Fund page on the Diocesan website to learn more about how your donation will help and to consider making a regular gift in support of our retired priests. Supporting our retired priests with either a one off amount, or there are envelopes in all our church porches for this collection or you can donate on our Dona machines. An ongoing monthly gift ensures priests who have dedicated their lives to serving others can retire with dignity and security.

Thank you for your continued generosity!

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

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.

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.
