Dear Parishioners,
Our HARVEST FESTIVAL will be celebrated on Sunday 6th October at 10.30 mass. We will be collecting food donations (non-perishable only please) and other essential items for the Manna Day Centre at London Bridge. For a list of most needed items please visit the Manna Society website: http://www.mannasociety.org.uk Please bring in your food items (nothing fresh that can go “out of date”) from next Sunday onwards and place them on the sanctuary. Harvest Festival gifts provide the Manna Centre with 70% of their foodstuffs for the year and are therefore critically important to them. Please give if you are able. A full list of desirables is in the foyer.
God Bless, Fr Doug
