Papal Visit Leafllet

 

Congratulations to Deacon Mark Woods and the Diocesan Communications Commission on producing an excellent leaflet about the forthcoming Papal Visit. There is a copy for everyone in the porches of the parish this weekend.

Papal visit - youth name drawn

Following the invitation to apply for place on the diocesan youth group travelling to London for the Papal visit the names of interested young people were placed in a tub. During the Friday afternoon parish team meeting the name of one young person was drawn at random followed by the name of a 'back-up'. Mgr. Tony will be making contact over the next day or so
