MISSIO
Could you support the global Catholic Church by volunteering for Missio? Missio is the Pope’s charity for World Mission. Through the Red Box, Missio ignites God’s love by helping local missionaries to work alongside global communities that are poor or in need, regardless of their background or belief. Our parish needs a new volunteer to promote the work of Missio and coordinate the Red Box Scheme. This can work around your own commitments and full training and support is provided by Missio. Please ask Fr. Brady for an information pack if you are interested. Thank you.
SICK AND RETIRED CLERGY APPEAL
Our diocesan Sick and Retired Clergy Fund ensures our retired priests can begin the next chapter of their vocation with confidence, knowing the Church they have served will continue to accompany them as they age. Every gift to the fund helps to provide the care, dignity and practical support our priests deserve after years of dedicated service. More information is available in the Atrium with QR Code and other ways you can make your donation.

SAFEGUARDING REMINDER
For the safety and wellbeing of all our children, we kindly ask that parents and carers accompany their child if they need to leave Mass for any reason (for example to use the toilet). Please remember that the Church doors remain open during Mass, and therefore children should not leave the building unaccompanied. Thank you.
