Fifth Sunday of Year B, February 8th 2009


The snow lay deep and crisp and even around the church after a week of blizzards. There was still a good turnout of people to celebrate our Sunday mass.

Today was education Sunday and also a day of prayer for the sick. We prayed also for Anne Thomas who died in the week, for her husband and family.

There was news too of the parish quiz which will be on Saturday February 28th at 7.30pm in the hall. This is the third year we have run the quiz and it has always been popular. Tickets, priced at £3.50 to include fish and chips, are available after masses.

Don't forget there will be a service of anointing of the sick on Sunday February 15th at 3pm.

If anyone has an old mobile phone, these can now be brought to church and recycled in aid of Cafod. Don't forget to remove the SIM card.

There will be a cake stall on March 14/15 organised by Laura Mahon to raise money for her expedition to help the Joshua Foundation. Offers of cakes will be appreciated.
