We will next be playing and singing at the 11am Mass on Sunday, 7th December and holding a practice beforehand 7 to 8pm on Monday, 1st December. Please make every effort to come to the practice as well as the Mass. 7th December is the 2nd Sunday of Advent and we’ll be singing the psalm as well as Advent hymns – a great way to prepare for Christmas, so it would be good to have many of us there! We have many young parishioners who come to the 11am Mass, so why not consider joining us? You would be made very welcome! Simply come along to the practice or join us for the Mass if you can’t make the practice. Thank you.
Christmas Book Sponsorship Help
Each Christmas, the children at St John Fisher Catholic Primary School receive a special book from Santa as a gift, that brings joy, warmth, and the spirit of Christmas.
If you own a business and can help sponsor this year’s books, we would be truly grateful. It’s a meaningful way to support the children and share in the season of goodwill.
Please get in touch Committeesjfpta@gmail.com if you’re able to help. Thank you.
