CAFOD HARVEST FAST DAY - Friday 5 October: Cafod has asked that we use this day to make an urgent appeal for funds to support Zimbabwe's most vulnerable people. Please take an envelope for your donation as you leave Church today and return it next weekend.

FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION: The first of our nine themes is 'Celebrating'.

Each theme is centred on a specific action in family living, in the life of Jesus, and in a particular part of the Mass. The action of 'Celebrating' is related in the story of the Wedding Feast at Cana. When we gather together as the family of God, we celebrate and praise God. Today at the 11am Mass we celebrate the Rite of Enrolment of Names
