Help wanted

By Webmaster • September 21, 2025
We are in need of a volunteer to co-ordinate the parish hall bookings. This entails speaking to potential users of the hall, arranging for the contract to be completed prior to signing by the parish priest and arranging for the hall to be opened and closed before and after use. This is not a time consuming role but vital in terms of parish income. The volunteer will be required from the beginning of September 25. If you are interested speak to Stephen

Repair of Church organ at Blessed Sacrament Church

By Webmaster • September 21, 2025
As you may be aware, we have not been able to use the organ in church due to the repairs required. The cost for repairs is just over £10,000. Currently, the Parish cannot afford to pay this. If anyone would like to donate towards this, please see Stephen. Please do not put any additional monies into the collection for the organ appeal as we need to keep a record of the amount raised. Any amount is a step nearer to our goal. Thank you.  Stephen.
