After Sunday Mass - there is tea and coffee in the hall, please stay if you can, especially if you are new to the church. We would love to say hello to you.

Sick & departed list - On the kneeler, under the Venerable Bede window. The list is on the Lady Chapel altar during the week; feel free to add names to it at any time.

Cooks Hamper raffle - Tickets are on sale after mass and from SPOT: don’t forget to get yours!

Pens - Pens with Bible verses on them are available for £2 per pen. Proceedings go to the church.

200 Club - Thank you to those who have already returned their forms and/or paid their subscription.  If you pay by BACS, we still need your forms. This Sunday is the last draw for the 2024/25 year. Please make sure we receive your form and payment by 1^st September.

Holy Communion - When you are returning to your place after Holy Communion, and the Priest goes down in the nave with the Sacrament, please do not stop. Instead return directly to your place, simply offering a sing of reverence (anything like bowing your head, pausing for a second or genuflecting) as you pass by the Sacrament. This way you will be ready, in your chair, with the hymn book, to sing the Communion Hymn. Also, some people struggle to walk or to stay on their feet—this way they, too, will be able to sit again as soon as possible.

Parish Magazine - The August issue is available in the parish hall.

Marian Devotion Day - Saturday 23 August will be a day dedicated to Our Lady and to fellowship with each other in our parish. 11am: Holy Rosary; 12pm: High Mass & Procession of Our Lady with candles; Lunch (bring and share; drinks offered by the parish); 3pm: Guild Office, Litanies of Our Lady and Benediction. We will be joined by various chapters of the Guild of the Servants of the Sanctuary (Altar Servers) for whom this will also be an annual meeting. All are welcome to the whole day or to parts of it.
