A very warm welcome to Mgr Paul Fisher celebrating Mass with us this weekend.
We are looking for new volunteers to help count the weekend Mass collections. To be carried out after Sunday Mass, in pairs, only once a month. Please speak to Canon Gerard if you can help.
Anyone in the parish is welcome, men in particular, as our current team is entirely female and it’s important for our children to experience a variety of voices and role models. If you would like to help, just let Canon Gerard, Deacon David or Deacon Philip know, so we can get safeguarding checks underway. The only requirement is a willing spirit and the ability to help with one or two Sunday sessions per half-term. All planning is provided.
