Pray for good weather.
TOWER OF LONDON VISIT: Father Christian and 30 parishioners visited The Tower of London in May this year for a guided tour around the cell and burial place of St John Fisher. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather on the day and our guide at The Tower was excellent. In the afternoon we went on to visit the Door of Mercy at St George’s Cathedral. Our arrival home at 5pm ended a very enjoyable day for all. There is a photo in the porch and in the parish hall of Father Christian with the group.
CLERGY SUPPORT FUND CAMPAIGN: Following your generous support the Campaign has reached £2m in funds raised and pledged. Just over half the parishes in Southwark Diocese have completed their campaigns and so the Campaign is on track. If anyone has missed out and would like to help support our sick and retired Priests, please contact John Rayer on 01322 523499.
OUR VINCENTIAN AIC GROUP in PECKHAM have developed a food and clothes bank for needy families in their area. They would very much appreciate any donations of tinned or packeted food or clean clothes. There will be a box in the porch for the next two weekends. Thank you in advance for your generosity. Christine Crump AIC
