This weekend our parish will be holding the annual World Mission Sunday Appeal. This year, we are invited to reach out and help the people of Uganda. This year’s focus is on the work of Religious Sisters such as Sr. Jane Frances in Nsambya Babies Home. By helping to train the Sisters and to provide for the needs of the Babies Home, you are helping these women to show the love of God to those around them and in their care. Last year, 100% of all Mission Sunday donations were sent to the neediest of places. Please come prepared next week and give generously.

 

Tickets are now on sale at the back of the church for Halloween Party Night 28^th October in St Martins Church Hall 7pm.
