Candidacy Mass
THIS Tuesday 7pm
Mr. John Goggin will be formally
received as a candidate from our
parish to the ministry of the diaconate by Bishop Peter Brignall this
Tuesday at the 7pm Mass.
I would like to invite the whole parish community to this special and
joyful occasion and the celebration
with the bishop and deacons of the
diocese.
There will be refreshments in the
Hall after the Mass.
Calling current Altar Servers!!
Please make a special effort to attend
the Mass at 7pm on Tuesday 13th.

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
