Thank you to everyone who kindly signed up to help us with the church cleaning.  We have been able to get in touch with most of you and the dates and groups have been arranged for July, August and September.  Please check for your date and group, which will be displayed in the porch.  The last session made a big difference and it is hoped that we can continue to maintain the good presentation and cleanliness of our church throughout the year because of the extra help you are offering.

SVP & CAFOD working together in the run up to the General Election

As Catholics, we know that tackling poverty and injustice are among the most important issues politicians should act on. St Vincent de Paul Society and CAFOD have produced a guide for Catholics for the General Election, with suggested questions to ask candidates. Please see cafod.org.uk/encounter or svp.org.uk/encounter for more information.


SPUC NEWS.

A General Election has been called for 4 July 2024. The threat of abortion being decriminalised was averted when this election was called, but these extreme proposals are sure to return. The next Parliament will also likely see a big push to legalise assisted suicide. It is therefore vital that we elect MPs who will oppose these threats to life.

 

To contact your candidates, and to check on their voting intentions on pro-life issues, please go to:
