A big thank you to everyone who brought produce in for the Harvest Festival Mass. We had a magnificent display of our abundance. Over 15 boxes and bags of food were donated to Hailsham Foodbank. They were extremely grateful and said that this year it was needed more than ever as they are unable to keep up with the demand. Going forward, we need to think of a strategy to adopt as a parish to support the needs of our local community more effectively.
The sale of fresh produce raised £200 for CAFOD. If you have not yet contributed to our harvest appeal there is a further opportunity. This weekend we are collecting the envelopes for CAFOD Family Fast day which took place on Friday, October 6th. If you are a UK Tax Payer, please remember to complete the Gift Aid form on the envelope as you can increase the value of your gift by 25p for every £1 you give – at no extra cost to you!
Thank you to everyone who signed the CAFOD Seeds for all campaign letter. This will be presented to the World bank on 11th October along with a further 60,0000 signatures gathered from 700 parishes.
Thank you again to everyone who has made a contribution – we are very proud of our generous community.
