VIGILANCE: Recently a number of incidents have taken taken place in the Church and nearby. Some weeks ago a lady was mugged in the Upper Room and her money stolen. A gentleman had his wallet and car keys taken and last week the total collection from the three Masses was stolen after the 11am Mass from the Sacristy. On weekdays, both the Church and St Margaret's Shrine in the Shambles are being targeted. Could I ask you to be extra vigilant at all times? As a preventative measure you could help by calling in as you pass by at any time and report anything suspicious.
WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS and thanks for joining in our Celebration. We hope you enjoy your time in York. Young children are most welcome to join in the Children's Liturgy at the 11am Mass. It helps the parish if tax-paying visitors would use the small white Gift Aid envelope (found at the back of Church) for any offerings you wish to make. For every £1 you give, the Inland Revenue gives a further £0.28. Thank you for your help.
