PARISH PHONE LINE

The Presbytery land line is currently not operational, so apologies if you have been trying to reach us. 

We hope this will be resolved over the next few days. 

 

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. 

 

URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP!

As mentioned in last week’s bulletin, the church cleaning group at Sudbury now needs more help. 

 

If you are able to assist with this, please let Fr Antony or the Parish Office know – email romancatholicchurch@btinternet.com or call 01787 372703. Do kindly include your contact details.

 

Thank you.
