An appeal please for a few more volunteers to join the Notre Dame cleaning rota. Unfortunately due to ill health and advancing years some of us are finding it difficult to fulfil commitments. If anyone who regularly attends mass at Notre Dame (or indeed any of the Church masses) feels they may be able to help out (usually once every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on numbers of volunteers) please give me a call or email me. Your help would be very much appreciated. My phone number is 07781 155892 and email is megalfie@icloud.com.

We are pleased to tell you that Father Benedict Ndikum will join us at the end of September.

We keep him in our prayers.

Have you got something you would like to share with the parish community? If so let us share the good news on our weekly newsletter.

All entries to be in by Thursday Lunchtime. Pop into the Parish Office or e-mail us office@catholic.org.gg.

2nd – 35 – £50

3rd – 49 – £25

Dear Parishioners of Our Lady and the Saints of Guernsey, tt is that time of year when our bishop organises the clergy moves for the coming year. This year our bishop has found it particularly difficult as 5 priests have retired and the sudden death Canon Gerard Flynn. We have only one ordination to the priesthood this year. The moves this year affect our parish. Canon Chris will be leaving the island in September to become Parish Priest and Dean in Andover. Fr Inna will remain in Guernsey for one more year as Acting Parish Priest and Dean. In September 2026 he will move to the mainland. An assistant priest has been appointed and will be here in September, but I cannot say who it is at the moment. I have really enjoyed my 5 years with you as Parish priest and I shall miss you all. Thank you for your friendship, love and concern. A little piece of Guernsey will be with me forever. Please pray for Fr Inna as he comes to terms with his new role. He will do well!

God bless,

À la perchôine!

Canon Chris
