St Aelred's World War 1 Centenary Labyrinth During 1-16th November. The Parish will honour all those who died in wars of the last century with a 'Poppy Labyrinth' on the lawn. (See the leaflet for an explanation). The children of the Parish will help in making the poppies. We would also like to gather the thoughts, prayers, photos and memories of Parishioners whose families have been affected by any war in any part of the world since 1914. Would you be willing to lend some photos or write a few words, or let Bernadette Broderick or Pippa Bonner write these down with you, by name or anonymously? They would go into a Parish booklet and be displayed in the Hall during the time of the Labyrinth. The purpose of this Parish project will be to continue to pray for Peace. Please contact Bernadette Broderick on 875311 or Pippa Bonner 547394 with any queries. Thank you - Pippa Bonner.

The Ebola outbreak hits hardest at the poor and the vulnerable in affected countries, where healthcare systems are fragile, and where people are unable to go to their farms or earn a living in the market-place. A huge concerted effort is needed to contain the spread of the Ebola virus.

Mali is the latest country in the region to record a death. A box will be left at the church entrance for your contributions. Please take a Gift Aid form to accompany your offering.
