It’s the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord on Thursday 18th. Join us for Solemn Mass at St Mary’s Church at 7pm.
Christian Aid Week
It’s Christian Aid week (14 -20 May) and there’s an opportunity to donate in our churches for the next two Sundays. Envelopes are available.
Your gifts this Christian Aid Week could help farmers in Malawi plant better seeds, secure a fairer price for the crops, and build happier futures for their children. You can find out more about Christian Aid Week here
