Parish News - 11th Oct 2025
Harvest thanksgiving Mass: Thank you to the folks who very kindly donated the fruit and vegetables and to the beekeeper for the jars of honey. Special thank you to Fr. Humble for the lovely Mass, during which he offered thanksgiving. Parishioners were delighted to receive the shared produce.
Birthday blessings to Fr. Humble who celebrates his birthday on Thursday. Many happy returns Father. Hope you have a lovely day.
Birthday blessings to Fr. Peter who celebrates his birthday on Friday. Please continue to keep Fr. Peter and the people of Myanmar in your prayers as they go through yet another difficult time, resulting in more loss of lives. We will be sending more of your generous donations to him this coming week.
Monthly clean and tidy: Big thank you as always to our few volunteers.
Stella Maris: Following the recent collection of donated items, we have started to receive more again. If you would like to bring anything along for the seafarers, they greatly appreciate toiletries e.g. shaving foam, disposable razors, shower gel, toothbrushes, toothpaste as well as sweets, biscuits and chocolates. They are also delighted to receive rosaries and other religious items. We’ll give you an update on clothing requirement requests as some of you have been asking but we’ll consult with Stella Maris first. Thank you all for your continued generosity.
Book exchange: Don’t forget to look in the chapel. There’s loads of books so please help yourselves and take what you want.
