Stella Maris (formerly called Apostleship of the Sea) is seeking one volunteer from this parish please to help with Sea Sunday (which falls on 11/12 July this year) in this parish. This is the day when the Church comes together to pray for seafarers, fishers and their families, and takes a second collection to support the work of Stella Maris. The volunteer will read out the appeal (which Stella Maris will provide) at the end of Masses that weekend. If you can kindly do this, please contact [email protected]

Related to that, all parishioners are warmly invited to an online webinar being run by Stella Maris on Wednesday 17^th  June from 7:30pm to 9pm. You will hear about the work that Stella Maris has been doing with seafarers and fishers over the past year or so, including the use of the funds kindly donated on Sea Sunday last year.

Sun 28th June after mass at St G’s. During the month of June we are raising funds for The Demelza Trust.  There was a Demelza Charity Shop in Hailsham, but sadly had to close.  This charity delivers extraordinary care to children who are facing serious or life limiting conditions.  They support the children and their families at every step from first diagnosis and for as long as they are needed.  Their support is as unique as every family, providing creative therapies, short breaks, practical and emotional support for families and siblings and care towards the end of life.  A worthwhile charity indeed.

We hope you, your family and friends can support this.

Last month we raised a grand total of £300 for Linking Lives Eastbourne.  Thank you to everyone who supports us with these breakfasts and help raise so much money for charity.
