If you have not received an envelope at home, please pick up one in the church and return it back to the Sacristy. Also if you did not receive a calendar to your home please take one from the tables around the church. St Vincent de Paul: The monthly outdoor collection in aid of St. Vincent de Paul will take place after all Masses next weekend. Your support and continued support is greatly anticipated and appreciated. Weekly Boxes 2015 The weekly boxes for 2015 will be ready for distribution just after Christmas. We have noticed that there is a drop in our envelope collection for various reasons i.e empty houses, deaths etc. and then some people do not like using envelopes and contribute to the basket collection instead. In order to minimise our costs we are just going to distribute envelope boxes to the people who used them over the past year. This means that you will be getting your box delivered but you may have a different number on your box. Please bear with us during this time. If you don't get a box of envelopes and would like to have one please leave your name and address into the sacristy. We thank you for your support in the past and look forward to your continued support in the future. Happy New Year We would like to take this opportunity of wishing all our parishioners, their families and extended families a very healthy, happy New Year. A safe journey back for all those who have to travel. Thought for the Week The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.
