SVP
On behalf of the SVP, we would like to offer our sincere thanks for the very generous donations made over the last couple of weeks in respect of the family in need. We are aware that times are hard for a lot of people, especially at this time of year and your generosity is greatly appreciated. The monetary donations will go towards the purchase of new carpets for the downstairs rooms and staircase. We are currently trying to source a carpet fitter who would be willing to fit the new carpets at a reduced price. If anyone has any contacts, please could you speak to a member of the SVP.
CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE
Following the enormous success of the Christmas Giving Tree over the last couple of years and your amazing generosity as a parish, we would like to repeat the event again this year. The Giving Tree will be available in Church between the 8th November and the 14th December. Please could I ask that any donations be brought in after the Christmas Fair. The donations will be made into hampers for those members of our Parish Community most in need. Your generosity will be gratefully received. A list of recommended donations can be found on the noticeboard in the Atrium.
CAN YOU SPARE A LITTLE TIME?
We’re looking for a few helping hands to put up the Christmas Tree for the parish fair and take it down afterwards. If you can spare a bit of time to help, please let Fr Brady know-many hands make light work, and your help would be appreciated.
