The parish confirmation catechists wish to invite all year 10 – 13 young people who are looking to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation in 2024 to enrol for this year’s formation classes.  Forms can be found at the back of both churches or can be sent to you via email by emailing a request to [email protected]. 

The group is open to all young Catholics 15-19 in our deanery and will launch on Sunday 15th October, with an information session for candidates and their parents/carers at 4pm in St George’s Hall. It will then meet every second week at 4pm    during term time from November. 

Application forms should be completed and posted or emailed to the parish office by Sunday 8th October. For more information contact Sandra on 07791627368.

The Songs of Praise on Sunday at St George’s was a resounding success. Very moving stories were told on why each hymn had been chosen. Beautiful hymns sung with gusto. Special thanks to Anne Bowe, an excellent master of ceremonies and who  orchestrated the event. Thank you Sandra, the young people and children who picked blackberries that were made into    delicious jam for the tea afterwards. Special thanks to the  kitchen team who kept the tea flowing and did the huge clean up afterwards. You know who you are ladies and are very much appreciated. Oh, and the cakes were superb too!!

Today after mass at St George’s will support Love in a Box – Look forward to seeing you there. 

A big thank you to everyone who sent me get well and birthday wishes. It is taking a while to get my strength back but will be there soon. God bless you all, Joan. 

We really need the support of parishioners to assist with the safe supervision of children for these sessions. This may involve taking the register, ensuring all children are safely accompanied between the two buildings and encouraging children to take an active part in the liturgy. You will not be required to plan the session (unless you wish to) We hope to enlist sufficient  assistants to allow us to share the responsibility for 2-3 sessions per term. Please speak to a member of the Children’s Liturgy Team if you feel able to assist us.

We give thanks for all  God’s generous gifts at our family masses. We remember those in our community who are struggling to put food on the table and ask for donations for our local Foodbank.  Please bring along your donations for the next three weeks and leave them in the labelled box in the porch. You will find lists of what is needed  in the hall or the back of the church.
