SACRED SILENCE IN CHURCH BEFORE MASS The most important thing is not what we say, but what God says to us. Jesus is always there, waiting. In the silence we hear His voice.

You are welcome to place your donations in the basket after Mass has concluded. Retiring (second) collections are usually taken as you leave church – when applicable.

CONSIDERATE PARKING DURING SUNDAY MASS Please could we take care when parking - that we stay within the marked bays. Recently there were 3 bays which were not usable because vehicles were parked across lines or simply sticking too far out and limiting other users’ room for manoeuvre. The car park is presently under severe pressure for several reasons which are being addressed. Consultors

CANCELLATION OF WOMEN'S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE
We had intended to reschedule the service which couldn't take place on 2nd March due to adverse weather. After consultation it has been decided to cancel the service for 2018. An early Easter makes this a busy time with several ecumenical events already scheduled alongside usual services. If you feel able to make a donation to support the work of the WWDP charity, envelopes are available after Mass today. The service booklet lists grants made to a wide range of causes from previous offerings. Despite the lack of a service, women from all the churches involved in its preparation have had the opportunity to work together as a faith community, which is very much in keeping with the spirit of WWDP. Anne Plunkett and Cathy Duffy

GOOD SHEPHERD ORGAN AND FLOWER FESTIVAL
Mon 23rd April - Sat 28th April 2018. The six organ recitals will take place at lunchtimes and the church will be open from 10.00am until 4.00pm for visitors to view and reflect upon the floral displays. The theme of the festival will be “The Beatitudes”.
There will be a “Reflection Trail” of floral displays with a guidance book of reflections upon each of the Beatitudes (Matthew 5: 2 – 10). SPONSORSHIP / ADOPTION OF DISPLAYS There will be 8 floral displays (one for each Beatitude). We are looking for individuals, couples, families, groups to sponsor a display. What about pairing up with another person / family / couple to split the expense? On average each display would cost around £40. Any sponsorship will offset these costs. Please think about this and talk to others. Sign-up sheets soon.
