HAS YOUR CHILD MADE THEIR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION? If so they can become a member of our altar server team in either of our churches. It is a wonderful opportunity to draw nearer (literally) to the Lord Jesus in the Mass and to better understand what happens in the Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Training will be given.

This meets every Wednesday at 10:30am in the meeting room at St Urban’s and is supported by Catholic Care. It is a wonderful opportunity to people to mutually support each other, regardless of age. The truth is that the numbers attending are putting its viability at risk. Please do come along , you won’t regret it. The new programme of activities is at the back of the church. Father Chris
