Lent Fundraising for Tiny Tickers – We raised £1024.10

We are delighted to announce that Our Parish Children’s Liturgy Fundraising for Tiny Tickers during Lent was a great success with just over £1000 being raised.  This amazing amount was achieved through several different events and our thanks go to everyone who supported them and gave so generously.  Events included, family Stations and Lent Lunch, Cake Sale, Raffle, Sponsored Walk, Rosary Group Lent Alms and a Family Recital and afternoon tea held by two of our children and their family. 

The money raised has been sent to Tiny Tickers and will soon be spent on the purchase of at least one ward based Pulse Oximetry machine and possibly also a portable unit along with training of staff for use.  These machines will be placed in our local Maternity ward and/or Midwifery Unit and will ensure babies born there in the future will be tested at birth for Congenital Heart Defects.

Last Tuesday 15 parishioners from both of our churches met to discuss how we could start the process of responding to everyone who made suggestions for the development of our Parish earlier this year.  A useful discussion was held and people indicated which subjects they were interested in and ways in which our two communities could work together and learn from each other. Over the next few weeks you will be hearing about the different areas that we hopefully will try to improve.
