NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING FOR LIFE
On this Wednesday February 15th please join us in a day of prayer and fasting for the end of abortion and euthanasia in this country. Your prayer and fasting is urgently needed. See www.goodcounselnet.co.uk for more information.”
Don’t forget you weekly gift to SUFRA our local Food Band on St Raphael’s Estate. There is a real need for this charity and the work it does in our neighbourhood. Do please keep up the good work and thanks to all who regularly give, and plead for more of us to get involved. Their web-site is worth visiting for more information www.sufra-nwlondon.org.uk.
The beginning of the Parish Web-site: is now up and running, thanks to Gerogette Del Rosario and Flavian Fernandes. Hopefully it will develop and become a resource not just for ourselves but for all who may go to it. Like any good web-site it will depend on continuous updating with all the news of our parish and the wider community in which we are involved. If you would like to contribute an article or some information you have, do let Fr. Patrick know. Meanwhile go to www.rcdow.org.uk. Then go to ‘Parishes’ on top left of page and type in ‘Neasden’. Our parish will come up. Follow the link to the website. You can now go direct to the site: www.parish.rcdow.org.uk/neasden
Signing of Passports: There has been 100% increase in applications, mainly due to babies now having to have their own passport. The applicant or a parent must sign the form in the presence of Fr. Patrick. Pre-signed forms will not be accepted. In the past there has been no fee, even though other professions charge. This will change from today with a suggested donation of £20, which will go to parish funds.
Candles/ Votive Lights: For the past 25 odd years candle offerings has remained at 20 pence!! The cost of buying in candles has soared so much over the years we need to increase our offering to 30 pence a candle. Could we also ask that all contribute this amount; there has been a large increase of pennies in the offertory boxes!!
