THANK YOU
Thank you to everyone who came to the St Patrick’s evening on Friday, it seems to have been a great success with good numbers in attendance. Thanks also to the gang of helpers who organized the evening and set out and decorated the hall, served the food and cleaned up afterwards. And lastly thanks to our musicians and dance caller, who made the night such an enjoyable event.
Lent Soup Lunch EVERY Friday @ 12 noon!
Come and join us each Friday through Lent in St Bridget's room for a light lunch of home made soups and goodies. The idea is that you give up your main meal of the day, replace it with soup and give the cost of your main meal to charity. All proceeds to the Good Life Orphanage. Thanks to all those who helped out this week providing soups etc. we made £120.00 for the Orphanage!

Lent 2019
There is much happening through Lent this year. Please try to get involved with as much as you can. We often heat the phrase “what are you giving up for Lent?” But sometimes it is the little extras we can do that can lead to great spiritual development. Prayer is always the best place to start, and that is what I would like to encourage you to do this Lent. There are ample time s and days offered for you to do that bit extra, so why not make this Lent a special time of prayer.

Prayer for the sick of the Parish
O God, your Son accepted our sufferings to teach us the virtue of patience in human illness. Hear the prayers we offer for our sick brothers and sisters. May all who suffer pain, illness or disease realise that they are chosen to be saints, and know that they are joined to Christ in his suffering for the salvation of the world. Amen.
