STANDING ORDER APPEAL
We are indebted to the number of parishioners who responded to our appeal by setting up a monthly standing order in lieu of payment by Offertory Envelopes. This method helps ensure a regular income.
We are very aware of the current pressures on family and personal incomes and budgets and acknowledge sincerely your continuing generosity, goodwill and support in these challenging times.
Thank you once again!

REMEMBERING OUR LOVED ONES
Since all believers are bound together by the love of Christ, the dead are not beyond our love.
We are linked to the dead, just as when they were alive; and so our motivation to pray for them is love.
Light a candle in your home, recall the memory of your loved one. Pray God’s peace and rest on their soul. Pray also for yourself that God in His infinite love will give you peace of mind and heart at this time of brokenness and loss in your life.
May the Souls of all the faithful departed Rest in peace
