Welcome to this week’s bulletin. The Mass times are as follows:
**CHANGES**
Several changes will happen in the next few weeks that will affect Mass times and the number of Masses to be said at each of our churches. We welcome St. Thomas of Canterbury at Gainsborough into the fold. Discussions are in progress on how we can successfully achieve a balanced transition and ongoing worship.
Please note that a Read Me page has been added to the menu which will contain all the latest updates.
Social: Easter Bingo
An Easter Bingo will take place at St. Thomas More, Caistor on Sunday 2nd April starting at 7pm. Offers of help & donations of prizes needed. All funds raised go to church upkeep.
Please support this event. There will be refreshments and homemade cakes available. A chance to get together socially, please see me or Anne (McIntyre) if you wish to help or have prizes to donate.
100 Club!!!
Are you dreaming of that perfect holiday? This may be you chance to get away from it all. Well, maybe not all the way, but it will help towards the taxi fare to the airport!!! The 100 club will start again first Sunday in April , £10 a year per number, we need a 100 people to give the glittering prizes of a whopping £50 per month and £100 at Christmas, any excess money going to much needed church maintenance.
Thank you for your response so far! I am happy for people to send the money to me or Mary Quint and we will sort it out and allocate numbers. This could be the first step towards that dream holiday! You will have the opportunity to join after each Sunday Mass this weekend.
Easter Eggs!
Your chance to be in the Easter Egg raffle begins March until Palm Sunday when the raffle will take place. Donations of eggs for the raffle greatly appreciated. Raffle tickets will be on sale from 5th March at all Masses. As usual we have two very large eggs to be won, one at Holy Rood and one at Caistor.
