The Guild of Our Lady of Ransom
Webmaster • December 14, 2024
On behalf of the parish of St Bride Fr John Patrick applied to the Guild for a grant to help with the parish mission. He was successful in
receiving £1260. He asks that parishioners please remember to pray for the Guild who support parishes in their missionary activities

Next Sunday ( 22nd June ) we have 6 candidates making their First Holy Communion. As is tradition the candidates will share a breakfast in the hall after mass. We would like those parishioners who are able to contribute to the FHC breakfast. There is a list in the porch for you to sign up to provide a specific item required. If you can bring the item you choose to the hall before mass someone will take care of them for you.

- All parishioners are invited to an online webinar being run by Stella Maris on Thursday 19th 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. To attend this webinar, please sign up at: www.stellamaris.org.uk/thankyouwebinar

The Archdiocese is establishing a Volunteer Support Team to provide practical and emotional assistance to parishes during times of crisis or difficulty. We are seeking empathetic individuals with strong listening skills who can help create a compassionate and supportive environment for priests and parish communities in need. Interested in finding out more? Call the safeguarding team on 029 2037 9480 or email safeguarding@rcadc.org

As you can see the garden at the far side of the Blessed Sacrament church has developed nicely thanks to Angela and her small team. We need more volunteers to assist us in particular with the weeding of the flower beds and also with help in the general weeding of the church grounds. If you can assist please see Stephen.
