The Big Lent Walk
The Big Lent Walk

I will be taking part in The Big Lent Walk this year, committing to walk 200km over the Lent period — that’s 5km each day. I’m taking part in order to help raise funds for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are living without access to fresh, clean water.

If you would like to support this worthy cause, please use the QR code provided, or donations can be sent to the Parish Office marked “Helen Willetts – The Big Lent Walk.”

Cheques payee is CAFOD. Please be assured of my prayers in thanks for your generosity. Helen Willetts

Thank You
Thank You

Christine, Mark and William Woodall and grandparents Bryan and Anne Mauger would like to thank everyone who has so kindly prayed for our beloved daughter, sister and grand-daughter, Lillian (Lillie), at first for her recovery from illness and now for her eternal rest, after her death in Dublin from complications following surgery to remove a brain tumour. Thanks also for all the prayers being said for us at this difficult time, for donations made in her memory and to all those who’ve requested a Mass to be said for her. We are truly grateful.

Thank You - Father Inna
Thank You – Father Inna

Father Inna would like to say a big thank you to all our parishioners who helped with the special Mass for our young people. It was encouraging to see such a good number in attendance and the celebration went very well. Special thanks to the Delancey Music Group for leading the singing during the Mass and to the UCM Group for serving refreshments. We are also very grateful to our beloved parishioners who kindly provided biscuits, chocolates, cakes and so drinks for everyone to share. After a long time, it was wonderful to welcome our Filipino Choir back to sing at last Sunday’s 10:30 am Mass. I have received many positive comments, congratulations and well done to you all. Many thanks to each of you for your time, dedication, and the gift of your singing for the greater glory of God. Please continue the wonderful work you are doing for our parish community.
