Food Bank
Tinned and dried goods are always needed to help those struggling at this time especially during the winter months. Your support is much appreciated, goods can be placed in the basket at the back of the Church. See Pauline if you have any questions or need more information.
Appeal Seafarers Christmas Boxes
Christmas boxes Appeal: We are appealing for items for the shoe boxes as from this weekend. These will be our gifts to the sea farers at Christmas time. As in the past we are appealing for: Suggested items: Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Shower Gel, Shaving Cream, Razors, Deodorant, Comb, Tissues & Dominoes (used are ok). Socks, Gloves, Scarves. Pen, Writing Paper, Envelopes. Packets of Cup a Soup. Sweets, Chocolate. Alternatively, next week there will be donation envelopes at the back of the church. If you wish to give cash instead then once it is all collected, we could be in a much better position to buy some of the above at a discount. Please see Fr. Robert if you have any questions.
Holy Souls:
November is the month of the Holy Souls when we remember our loved ones who have gone before us. Your envelopes with lists of the dead & contributions to the Mases will be placed on the altar throughout November as we remember them and pray for them. Would you be kind enough to put on your lists those who have no one left here to pray for them. Thank you.
Another Appeal
Our ride-on lawnmower is coming to the end of its useful working life-not Kevin the person who operates it. Therefore, we are asking if any parishioner knows of where to obtain an ex-display or very little used one to replace it with. We have made some progress on this. More details to follow as they become available.
