Useful Parish Information

Announcements

1.      Parish Contact - It is appreciated that some people, when ill, prefer just family contact.  However, there are others who may welcome contact from the parish.  If you fall into the latter category, in the first instance contact Mary Dickman 01285 653714 who will trigger the link line.  

2.       Help:  We are aware as a parish that there are people who sometime in their lives need help, for a variety of reasons, for example through illness, being alone or new to the parish.  We thought it a good idea to find who would be willing to help.  No particular skill is necessary, it might be as simple as a listening ear, or to do some shopping.  The objective is to form a link line.  If you are willing to give some of your time, please contact Mary Dickman or another member of the Pastoral Tem.  Some of you may be thinking 'Yes , I could so with some support', if this is the case then please contact Mary on 01285 653714.

3.      St Peter's Book - can be found at the back of the church for your prayers and intercessions.

5.      Gift Aid - Do you pay tax?, If you do, the Parish can reclaim 28 pence tax for every pound you contribute.  It costs you nothing extra.  All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid Declaration, we do the rest.  To find out more, please call David Groom on 01285 656725.

7.  Prayer Circle - The group prays for the needs of the parish. Anyone can join and be part of it, housebound included. Just phone the prayer-line if you wish to know more about it. Members pray daily in their homes, and those who can, meet in the Presbytery on the first Tuesday of the month, after the 10 am Mass.
We are not a prayer group as such.  We each pray as individuals in our own home in our own way and in our own time, but we are committed to this prayer daily. The commitment unites us as a group, the more so when we pass on a ,special urgent prayer request around the Circle.  We are now ten in number and hope still more people will join us. Doreen Fothergill.
