Volunteers Please

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.

Day for Life 21st June 2026

By Webmaster • June 21, 2026
On Sunday, 21 June , we mark the Day for Life under the theme “The Wonder of the Child in the Womb.” The theme also recognises the loss of children who died before birth and the grief of their parents. The bishops’ message and prayers can be found on the Day for Life website: www.dayforlife.org . The second collection will go towards the Day for Life Fund, which distributes grants to organisations that promote respect for life from conception until natural death. You can also donate online via the Day for Life website."
