The Church Grounds at the Blessed Sacrament Church

Each year the parish has been paying near £1000 for a local company to maintain the grass and trees at the Blessed Sacrament Church. Given the need to raise funds for the renovation of the church Fr John Patrick is asking for volunteers to step in and take on the task as he is trying to save money. Will you be willing to help? Please contact him as soon as possible.

Teas and Coffees

This year we began making available Teas and Coffee every two weeks after the Sunday morning mass. It has proven to be a great time for us to get to know each other in a social gathering. The teams who organise them would appreciate a few more helpers to assist. Please speak to them if you are willing.

Parish Film Club

This continues to be greatly enjoyed by those among us who come regularly. The team that organise this afternoon out are also looking for a helper or two this month as members of the team are taking a holiday. The task is not onerous by any means. If you are a film buff and willing to help, please see Anna Bruty, Sue, or David Doherty.

Collection Counters

We have two volunteers who regularly assist in the counting of the collection. We need a few more volunteers to help in this task to ensure the ongoing integrity of accountability in matters financial. It is hoped that we can build up a sufficient team to start a counters rota. Please see Kevin Boyt, Trevor Jones, or Fr John Patrick if you would like to volunteer.

Help wanted

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
