CAFOD Harvest Fast Day Collection
“I like working hard for the sake of my dignity… but life has changed, now it’s about survival”, Margaret Mueni, Kenya. People like Margaret have spent years working their way out of poverty but world problems, including the financial crisis have knocked them down again. This Harvest we’re appealing for funds to support millions in urgent need. Your generosity will show the world’s poorest that they’re not alone at this critical time. This weekend there will be a retiring collection for CAFOD following the savings we’ve made from the Harvest Fast Day on Friday, please give generously.

Parish Christmas Fayre
Saturday 5th December is the date for the 2009 Christmas Fayre. The Fayre is our largest fundraiser and last year we raised just over £7,000 towards the general refurbishment and upkeep of the parish and is our best achievement to date. But this event would not be so successful without you, the parishioners help and support. We are currently looking for top prizes for our Grand Prize draw and to start us off our 1st prize is £250 cash. If you, your company or friends can donate a top prize we would be delighted as the Grand Prize Draw ticket sales generate about 20% of the money raised. If you can help please contact the Presbytery or Susan O'Brien on 01895 633756 as soon as possible as tickets will be printed in the next few weeks.
