Thank you all for your generosity
At St Ambrose - the front pews have been adapted for use by wheelchair users. If not needed by a
wheelchair user, this is a useful spot for those with push-chairs - but do remember to keep the aisle clear
during communion. A wheelchair is available at each church for use by any parishioner to make it
easier to get around for Mass or other Parish Events. Also, if you need to receive communion or a
blessing where you are sitting at Mass please let one of the welcomers know in before Mass starts.
There are also newsletters in large type format and large print versions of the Mass Sheet on Sundays.
If you are visually-impaired, or have someone at home who could benefit from this, please do take one.
