Food Bank
The urgent needs this week are: small sugar, tinned
soup, tinned fruit, jam (not homemade), UHT fruit juice,
small cereal and coffee.
Mass Book Dedications
Thank you for the dedications received so far, the
labels will be prepared in the next couple of weeks for
insertion in the new Mass books. It’s not too late if you
would like to dedicate a book just complete one of the
slips from the table at the back of Church, add the £2 per
book and hand it in to (me) Pat or leave in the Presbytery.
Parish Admin Support
We require the help of someone with office and
bookkeeping experience to support the parish as we
move forward. The present arrangements, put in place
as a temporary measure when Fr Aelred left, are not
sustainable in the long term.
If you have the relevant experience and are
willing to devote some of your time on a weekly basis,
please contact Fr Ed (Tel 692083) or Willie Slavin (Tel
65856) to seek further information.
Strawberry Tea Today is the Strawberry Tea so here’s hoping for
a sunny day. Don’t forget to hand in your quiz sheets today – in the event of more than one of you getting the
answers all right we will put the names together and choose one at random.
All proceeds are for our Church funds.
St Mary’s School Charity Coffee Morning
The coffee morning will be on Tuesday 15th July from
9.00am and everyone is invited to go along. There will be
refreshments, a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses
and other fund raising stalls. The proceeds are for Macmillan
Cancer Care and a school in Ghana where one of our
staff will be working as a volunteer during the summer.
Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament & Novena
We will be having a short service on Friday 1
August to pray for Father Aelred who will have
been away from our parish for 12 months. More
details next week.
Church Railings
We are intending to have the metal railings at the front of
Church replaced as they are in a poor state of repair, with some
having had to be removed as they were in danger of falling down. We
are looking for anyone who could rebuild the pillar, which was
demolished some time ago, so that the end railing has something to
be attached to. We would provide the bricks and concrete if they
could, out of the goodness of their heart, for the good of the Church,
provide the labour. Do you have a family member who could help?
Fund Raising for Hospice at Home West Cumbria
Kirsty Rowell will be taking part in the Great North Run to
raise funds for Hospice at Home West Cumbria on Sunday
7th September. She will be at the back of Church after
Mass today if anyone would like to sponsor her.
Apostleship of the Sea
Today’s second collection is our opportunity
to support their work and to pray for all
those who live and work at sea. Without
seafarers we would not have most of the items we
use in our everyday lives. Please remember them
today, Sea Sunday.
CONFIRMATION: The topic for the next session
on Wednesday 16th
July is “Mary - Who is she?”
