Choral Group—We hope to form the Choral Group again with a view to singing in the Liturgy at Mass on a regular and more frequent basis.  We are looking urgently for new members and also to welcome back former members whom we hope will now wish to participate once again. Our first occasion will be Easter.   Many in the parish are members of excellent choirs and we invite you to make this additional commitment to enhance our liturgical celebrations.  Please contact Adrian Finnerty if interested.  For further information 943 1517.  Please note the next Choral rehearsal date for Easter is after 12 noon Mass on Sunday 3rd April.

Baptism Course—Two months notice is required for Baptism.  Please contact Fr. Donnelly to make the arrangements.  Please note that the next Baptism Preparation Session for parents and Godparent of children being baptised will be on Saturday 7th May from 11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Church (Lower Hall.)

The Piety Stall—Has a large selection of cards and gifts for mother’s day and Easter now on sale.  Also we are short of volunteers to assist with serving in the Piety Stall, particularly after the Vigil and 12 noon Masses.  If you could spare 15 minutes after Mass and are aged over 16, we would really appreciate your help.  The rota sheet for April, May and June is on the notice board at the back of the Church.  Any questions please call Anne MacIntosh 931 5861.

Lost Property—If you wish to reclaim lost property, please contact the Sacristans.  Unclaimed items will be disposed of by 3rd April 2011.

Altar Servers Awards—Last weekend, on Sunday 27th March at the 10 o’clock Mass, four Servers (Grace McGovern, Katie Hilditch, Barry Turso and Victoria Maguire) were enrolled into the Archconfraternity of St Stephen and each received the familiar bronze medal on a red cord.  All four have demonstrated, by assisting at Mass regularly for over two years, their commitment to their parish ministry by serving at the Altar.  Well done and congratulations to all four.  Christopher Sanders.
