On the weekend of 22^nd/23^rd November, there will be a collection for the SVP.

Please do give generously to help support the amazing work the SVP do for the housebound and those who need support in our parish.

For those who have volunteered to serve in the parish as Eucharistic ministers can we have a short meeting after the 11am Mass on Sunday 23^rd November?

If anyone is interested in learning more about this ministry and how they might be able to help please come along to the meeting too.

The more people we have involved in ‘doing things’ in the life of the parish the better it is for all. Have a
think how you might be able to get involved. Reader? Cleaner? Sacristan? Flower Arranger? Grounds and
Garden?
