NOTE FOR OUR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC GROUP:
We will next be singing and playing at the 11am Mass on Sunday, 2nd June and beforehand having a practice 7 to 8pm on Tuesday, 28th May.
We were disappointed that we only had a small number of our singers at our May practice and Mass, so here’s your chance to make amends by many more of you coming to our 28th May practice and 2nd June Mass! It’s the feast of Corpus Christi, so let’s try to celebrate this lovely feast day in full force. If there are any parishioners who would like to come and sing with us, you will be made very welcome.
EXPLORER’S BAKESALE : Three of our Explorer Scouts, Sofia, Charlie and Juliusz have been selected by Essex to travel to the Australian Jamboree in Maryborough NSW in January 2025.

We will be hosting a bake sale with tea and coffee on Sunday 2 June after both 9.00am and 11.00am mass please do join us and offer your support. In addition we will be launching our “100 club” raffle at the bake sale, tickets are £10 each with the top prize of £100 – don’t miss this opportunity to WIN!
