CAFOD FAMILY FAST DAY
CAFOD Family Fast Day will be observed this Friday 4th October. From our acts of self-denial - we can give to the valuable work of CAFOD.
The envelopes will be distributed after all Masses this weekend. Please return your envelope with your offering next weekend and place in the box/basket in front of the Altar BEFORE Mass begins.
PARISH MEETING DATES
The following Parish meetings are scheduled:
The Parish Pastoral Council will meet this Thursday 3rd October at 6.00 p.m in Sudbury.
The Parish Finance Committee will meet on Wednesday 16th October at 6.00 p.m in Sudbury.
HARVEST
Together with CAFOD Family Fast Day, Harvest Fast Day also falls this Friday 4th October. An important way of celebrating thanksgiving for the Harvest is by being generous to those in need in our community. So, next weekend, we urge everyone to bring something to Mass, to contribute to the work of Storehouse Foodbank. Please bring non-perishable goods such as tinned foods, cereals, soup, jam, noodles, biscuits etc. The goods will then be taken to Storehouse for distribution.
TEA/COFFEE AFTER MASS - SUDBURY
Coffee/tea/soft drinks and biscuits are available after the Sunday 9.15 a.m Holy Mass in Sudbury each week. All Parishioners are very welcome - do join us.
