Afternoon of Prayer in Westminster Cathedral - Saturday September 24th 2022 which starts with the 12.30am Mass. A day of intense Intercessory Prayer to plead for the salvation of souls and for the peace of nations.
Family fast day is on 7 October and many of you kindly do without to donate money to CAFOD. In addition we invite you all to join in our parish walk round the field on 9 October after the 11am Mass to raise money for East Africa. Please try to get sponsored.This year CAFOD is concentrating its efforts on the drought ridden areas of northern Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Sudan where there have been four years of unbearable drought. 20 million people are fighting for survival. Let's help them. Refreshments and a chance 'to have a chat ' will be available in the parish hall after. Many thanks for your generosity.
On 2 October, two of our parishioners will be taking part in the London Marathon, in memory of Joe Lunn. Dave, Joe’s dad and Laura McGowan, one of our senior altar servers, will be part of the team raising funds for Rays of Sunshine. Rays grant wishes to poorly children and young people and continue to be very supportive of the Lunn family. Joe himself raised over £40000, giving back to the charity that supported him. If you are able, please consider donating to Laura’s fundraising efforts, so that as many people as possible can benefit from a wish.
Dave and Laura might also need a prayer or two! Please click here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/laura-mcgowan19 to donate. Thank you so much. To all those who wandered away on holiday and all the children and staff to St. Teresa’s School we welcome you back. Welcome, also, to any new arrivals who are here for the first time. May the days ahead be blessed.
