SEPTEMBER 29th – PARISH COMMUNITY DAY and BBQ
We have finalised the details for our Parish community day. There will be teas and cakes after the 09:00 Mass and the BBQ will be after the 11:00 Mass. Our volunteer leaders will be around to chat and show what they do.
So come along to witness for yourselves what voluntary activities take place in our Catholic parish community week in week out. Our Catholic parish community is something which we can be part of and which we can be proud of. We are inclusive and have a strong sense of belonging. The whole parish is invited and please invite friends and family, including anyone not active members of our parish. Everyone is welcome.
We look forward to seeing you.
Note on the day, we will also launch our census, and our new website is nearly complete.

If you are an experienced runner or someone who would value the opportunity to participate in this renowned event, please contact Damian Dillon for further details on 07912 308000 / ddillon@bccs.org.uk. The closing date for completed applications is Friday 26th September and please note that there is a minimum sponsorship requirement of £1800 (excluding Gift Aid). If you have been lucky enough to secure your own running place through the ballot, BCCS would invite you to join them and run to support children’s mental health.
