Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person;
but the things that come out from within are what defile."

Catholic Social Teaching Thought for the Week – 29th August

"Nature has poured forth all things for all people for common use. God has ordered all things to be produced, so that there should be food in common to all, and that the earth should be a common possession for all. Nature, therefore, has produced a common right for all, but greed has made it a right for a few."
Saint Ambrose of Milan

Your Giving to St Andrew’s A massive Thank You to all our parishioners who have continued to support our parish over these past sixteen months. We have, like many other charities, seen our income greatly reduced since March 2020. This is, of course, because of the lockdowns and closures and there being fewer people being able to attend church. Thank you, once more, in these difficult times for your generosity towards your parish. Fr. Mackle
