Van to Calais – wanted – men’s clothing – bedding, blankets, duvets. Toiletries – eg toothpaste, brushes, soap and towels. NB No ladies’ clothing required. Please hand in to church porch by 21st September and place beside foodbank containers. Many thanks. Mary’s Meal van will still be collecting on 27th Sept.

Coffee Morning after 10am Mass, next Sunday 20th September. Please come along and join us for a cuppa , a chat and some delicious home baking. This month we are raising funds for SCIAF’s Syrian Crisis Appeal. Many, many thanks for your continued support, it is very much appreciated.

Bernard Sheridan who has been an important part of our Parish Finance team for over thirty years is having to give up due to increasing work commitments. Our very sincere and grateful thanks to Bernard for all his efforts in the time he has very faithfully done this voluntary bookkeeping work. Bernard's work and commitment has been very much appreciated over the many years. We are therefore looking for, hopefully and ideally, two volunteers to take over and share this bookkeeping work. The time commitment would be roughly 4 hours per month plus the best part of a week to draw up the end of year accounts. It would be helpful if volunteers have a background in accountancy and are also familiar with the excel speadsheet bookkeeping system. For the handover, Bernard will be very happy to coach new volunteers. Please speak to Brian Donnelly or Fr Mackle if you are able to volunteer your help.

New Extraordinary Ministers will be commissioned today at the 10am Mass – Kay Dick, Dominique Donnelly, Catherine Dunipace, Gerry English, Mary Gibson, Philomena and Donal McDermott, Susan Morrison, Anne O’Donnell and Anne O’Hagan.

Approved Project - Redecoration of the church and re-carpeting the sanctuary is an Approved Project, which has been granted by the archdiocese, and means that all fundraising is exempt from the archdiocesan levy, which is up to 65% of net income. As we are levied on every first collection, and as we no longer have a second collection for the parish, how about holding or organising a fundraising event to raise non-leviable funds for this project, the approximate cost of which is £22,000?

Special Collections - 13th Sept – Assisted Parishes; 27th Sept – Mary’s Meals.

An invitation to any carers in the parish who would like to start a monthly coffee group. It can be a lonely job looking after someone and it might be nice to get together once a month for a chat and to support each other. If people are interested, email or contact me with suitable times/dates that would be best for you. I'll then try to find a time that suits most people or we could alternate a couple of days/times.
