Thank you for your wonderful generosity.
If you wish to join the Gift Aid scheme please contact the Parish
Office and we will be able to organise it for you. It only takes a couple
of seconds but it brings in extra revenue to the Parish! For every 1.00 a
gift-aider gives to the Parish, it is worth 1.25 to the Parish.
Important Note for all Gift-aiders:
Please notify the Parish Office if you:
Snow patrol . Well weve had the heavy rains and flooding,
However, its usually after Christmas that the snow comes along! And
we are now starting to experience some very cold wintry weather!
A few years ago we had a snow patrol on stand-by in case we got
snow or very icy weather. It was in place for two reasonsif we get
heavy snow I cant shift it all by myself to make the grounds accessible
and safe!, and that doesnt just apply to weekends, we have funerals
during the week etc. Also its the same when the temperature drops. I
think everyone knows how icy and dangerous our car park becomes, so
it takes a lot of gritting to make it (and the paths around church) safe.
There was another purpose also and that was for when we get
heavy snow, many of our older parishioners cant and shouldnt go out
in those kind of conditions, so we had a team of people who would
either walk to the shops and get the shopping for them, or use their 4x4s
to get the shopping. If we have in place a list of people willing to help
out, then the parishioners who need this, if it happens, can phone the
Parish Office and we can mobilise people from here. It worked very
well a few years ago, simply because we had the systems in place.
So if you would be willing to be part of the snow patrol, please
fill in the form and hand it to Fr Paul or pop it through the letter-box, or
email the office on: paul.cannon@dioceseofsalford.org.uk and we can
begin compiling our lists. Let us know which aspect you can help out
with, snow clearing and gritting and/or shopping for housebound.
(a few more volunteers have joined the patrolthank you)
Many thanks
Fr Paul.

CARITAS SUNDAY
Last weekend, we had a diocesan retiring collection to
support the work of CARITAS in our diocese. As the
collection was only announced on the day, we havent
counted it yet, in case any more money comes in this
weekend. If you wish to make an offering to last weeks
the retiring collection, pop it in an envelope marked
Caritas and pop it through the Parish office letterbox.
AWAKENING FAITH AND SEEKING CHRIST
If you are interested in joining our parish pilgrimage to the Holy Land, or would like further information please contact the Parish Office (or see Fr
Paul after any of the weekend Masses for an information pack). Places will be limited (and the airline
costs can alter as time goes on) so our advice would be
not to delay in getting your booking forms and deposit
back as soon as possible!
