Father Behr writes:

Dear Parishioners,

On Sunday for the Feast of Corpus Christi we will have a Blessed Sacrament Procession after Mass.

There are roadworks planned for the Ashford Road so it would be advisable to allow extra time for travel.

Children who have made their First Holy Communion recently have been invited to lead the devotions.  After the procession we have Benediction.

 

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. 

 Fr Behr
