'In 2020, our community raised £3245.49 through our Red Boxes and donations to Missio and the Mill Hill Missionaries. Thank you. Communities around the world are so grateful that people here are supporting them through prayer and our generous donations. The missionaries, and the communities they serve are living in such difficult circumstances, made even harder by COVID-19. They have asked us to pass on their thanks, and tell us that they pray for us all. Find out more at missio.org.uk'

Baptisms and Marriages contact the office for further details. Due to the current lockdown we are unable to conduct these Sacraments.
It is hoped with effect from the 17th May Baptism can resume with a maximum number in attendance of 30. All depends on the guidelines.

Requiem Mass or Service for Funerals can continue to take place in our 3 churches. The maximum who can attend a Funeral is 30 people excluding the Priest and organist.

Sacramental Preparations:
The preparation of our children for the Sacraments of First Holy Communion is almost complete. The children will be making the First Holy Communion at one of our extra Private 7 Masses over the come few weeks. Please keep the children and their families in your prayers.

Sacrament of First Reconciliation (Confession) Year 3: If your child or a relative of a child in year 3 that does not go to either of the 2 parish primary schools, now is the time to register them for the preparation course. This is due to start after the May half term. Parents of those attending Corpus Christi or St Theresa's primary schools will be contacted in May. Please ring the parish 01132645260 ASAP
