Use the CAFOD envelope in church, donate online at cafod.org.uk/envelope or call 0303 303 3030. You can also text CAFOD to 70560 to donate £10.

Again, an informal opportunity for those interested in cars and transport to meet, share experiences and perhaps teach and learn something in the university of life. At the moment this is a work in progress, but we hope to give further information soon. Many thanks.
An opportunity for parents with babies and toddlers to meet, eat and chat! The idea would be to bring a lasagne or two, put them in the hall ovens to cook and have a shared lunch with salad and desert one Sunday once the coffee morning has finished. How would 2nd November suit?
You will see from the ‘diary’ for this week, Masses are the ‘celebrant’s intention’; however, if you would like to have Mass offered for a personal or particular intention, please put details on a ‘Mass Intention’ envelope and hand it to Fr. Ian or drop it through the presbytery letterbox. You might like to have Mass offered for someone’s well-being, the repose of their soul, birthday etc. By tradition, the Mass ‘offering’, (rooted in Leviticus 7:28- 34 and Deuteronomy 18:3-8) should be sufficient to sustain a priest for the day. Many thanks.
If you have a Red Box (Mill Hill Missionaries) in your home which is not emptied by the parish collectors or if you would like a Red Box in your home to help the APF’s missionary work, please contact Louis McCulloch on 01306 899001 or louis.mcculloch1@gmail.com .
Will begin on Monday 13th Oct at 7.30 pm. Our initial session will take in a tour of the church to consider the not so much the architecture as the various elements, actions and artifacts which contribute to the liturgy and personal devotions. The following week, we will look at the arguments for the existence of God. An overview of the programme is available on the noticeboard by the side door.
As we enter into the month of October there is a new ‘Rosary Circle Chart’ on the noticeboard, to encourage us all to pray for vocations to the Priesthood. The ‘Chart’ lists the 20 decades of the Rosary and a number of columns for people to put their initial or a tick in a box to indicate they will commit to praying the particular decade each day for the month of October, and hopefully, this will create a number of ‘circles’ praying for this intention. This is a very simple spiritual exercise many of us could join in with; at least 20 people praying one decade of the Rosary each day, so the whole of the Rosary is prayed for this particular intention, thus creating a ‘Rosary Circle’. Let it be said, however, that anyone can join the Rosary Circles at any time.
