Stow Minster

Thank you for the wonderful attendance at Stow for the celebration of Holy Mass. Many thanks to the Rev Jane & her team who made us so very welcome.

If you wish to use the toilets in the Schoolroom before or during Holy Mass please see Keith or Pauline who will be in the Narthex. If you prefer to sit during Holy Mass rather than kneel or stand, then please sit. If you feel faint or would like some water Keith or Pauline will bring you water to drink.

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.

Thank you for all your help and support.

God Bless,

Fr. Robert
