We would like to remind you that if a child or a teenager wants to be prepared to receive First Holy Communion (and is at least in school year 3) or Confirmation (and is at least in school year 9) we will ask them to come regularly to one of the three groups, according to their age. They will receive First Holy Communion or Confirmation when they are ready (usually after one year).

STEWARDSHIP CAMPAIGN
Thank you for supporting our recent campaign. Due to your generosity the increase in our offertory, including gift aid, is just over £51,000.
This will make a huge difference to our parish finances and cover the increased costs we will incur due to inflation over the next couple of years. We are immensely grateful for your support.
