Retiring Collection

Charities are finding their customary sources of finance less fruitful. You support many of these by a retiring collection as you leave Sunday Mass. In the past two weeks you have excelled your usual generosity. To the Family Fast collection- administered by CAFOD – you gave £779 in cash and by the cashless machine. Others made direct donations. To the needy of our parish through last Sunday’s SVP collection you gave over £1300. That is tremendous.

Alas, there is no end to the needs. This Sunday is World Mission Sunday. Our Franciscan missions will have their begging bowl out after each mass. And we will be grateful if you bring in your domestic collection boxes for emptying. Thank you very much.
