Weeding Volunteers

Fr Francis on Leave

Fr Francis will be on annual leave from Wednesday, 30th July to Thursday, 14th August. Therefore, there will be no weekday Masses at St Anne’s during that time.

Lost Key

A key on a brown leather keyring has been found at the back of St Anne’s Church. If this belongs to you, please speak to either Father or Siobhan in the office.

In the Pink

This Sunday, 30th March, we celebrate Laetare Sunday—the 4th Sunday of Lent. The liturgical colour for the day is rose. Perhaps you would like to come to Mass wearing something rose/pink to help mark this midpoint in the season of Lent.
