PILGRIMAGE TO WALSINGHAM

Several members of the congregation have returned from an enjoyable and uplifting pilgrimage to Walsingham this past week.

Next year’s pilgrimage will take place from Monday 10 August to Thursday 13 August. Do speak to Fr Dexter if you would like to know more about it.

THE COLLECTION AT MASS

At the Sunday morning Mass a collection is taken during the offertory hymn. The purpose of this collection is to enable members of the congregation to support the work of the parish. If it is easier for you to make your contribution by card, there is a card reader at the back of church.

At the evening Mass no collection is taken, but donation plates and the card reader are available to enable you to give to the parish.
