Volunteers Wanted - I am making a special appeal for volunteers, please. After the 8th April Easter Vigil and after 8th May Confirmation Mass, we would like to have receptions in the hall. To do this on both occasions, we need volunteers to help with hall set up and clear up, and making teas and serving sandwiches. If we could have a group for each evening it would good.  Please get in touch if you can volunteer.
