Devotion to Divine Mercy
Join us on a Friday evening at 7pm for our Devotion to Divine Mercy. In the quiet and beautiful evening atmosphere of our church, we recite the The Divine Mercy chaplet as outlined to St. Faustina by Our Lord.
If you are unfamiliar with this, do not worry as there will be a handout to follow at the back of the church. This is led by our Deacon in training, Des Connors.
Operation Christmas Child
During October it has become our custom to support the Christmas Box Appeal run by Samaritan's purse. They send shoe boxes filled with essentials and toys around the world to disadvantaged children. Please help if you are able, by bringing in school supplies, soap, toothbrushes, small toys, small hats etc. The ages will be from 4-14. No chocolate, or glass items or toy weapons. There will be a box in the porch during October and a list of required items will be on the Notice Board. If you have any queries, please see or ring Eileen or Brian on 01279 812109 or Helen on 01279 814865.
Thank you
