Dear Parishioners,

 St Peter and St Paul

This weekend we have a second collection for Peter’s Pence which is, in essence, a gesture of communion — an expression of solidarity with the Pope in his work of proclaiming the Gospel, promoting peace, and extending Christian charity to those most in need.

Every contribution — large or small — helps support the Holy Father’s ministry and the charitable outreach of the Church across the world.

 

Parish AGM

On Friday 5 September we have our parish Annual General Meeting (AGM). This is a great opportunity to come together. Our Finance Committee will present an overview of the spending and we can have plenty of time for reflecting on our parish. 

David Green suggested we have fish and chips together from 6pm and then open the meeting for 7pm. There will be a sign up sheet for the fish and chips nearer the time. 

Please put the date in your diary. More details and agenda for the AGM will be available nearer the time.
