Altar Servers : Serving on the altar is a great privilege for girls and boys, and
adults too. Anyone interested in becoming an altar server is invited to give their name
to Fr Pius, Deacon Joy, or Mr Mark Philpot. Training will be arranged as convenient.
The lower age limit is to have made First Communion.
There is no upper age limit! A regular commitment is sought, not necessarily weekly,
but particularly an interest in enhancing the liturgical life of the parish. Mark Philpot

God’s intentions? Can we

answer, of course, is no.
God is so great, so beyond
our way of thinking, that we
can’t even come close. God
is so completely “other”,

You may leave your unwanted/surplus spectacles in a box in the lobby of the church, and
either Mark Philpot or I take the box and arrange for the spectacles to be sent to Vision
Aid Overseas.
This is a useful work of charity, both in helping to alleviate illnesses of the eyes and in
reducing landfill, and Vision Aid is grateful for
the spectacles. However, they do not want
the glasses cases - nobody does. I would
ask therefore that parishioners should retain
the glasses cases or put them in their waste
