For every £1 you give, the Inland Revenue gives a further £0.28. Thank you for your help.
FIRST COMMUNIONS: Today at the 11am Mass, fourteen of our young people will be receiving the Eucharist for the first time. It is you, the faith community, that welcomes these children to the table of the Lord as you once welcomed them into the community through baptism. We thank you for helping them to grow in their faith by your word andexample. Let us continue to pray for them and their families.
