VOLUNTEERING CAN BE SO REWARDING
As Catholics we need to have access to Holy Mass, and so to feel part of a caring community. Could you do something that helps our housebound friends to be able to do both things? Yes, it could be you.
We can train you quickly and constantly help you to get and develop the skills which will help you at work, in your studies, and in your everyday life. You would learn to set up and operate the kit to broadcast the Mass at 10.00am on Sundays. It may sound ‘too hard’ but those who do it now learnt in a few sessions and were competent. The team and written guidance supported them along the way. So, yes you could do it.
As one of our team will be leaving to train for the priesthood and another is getting married and moving away we’re getting to the stage where we may not be able to continue the weekly broadcasts, so please think hard, and yes, it could be you.
Call Mike on 07563 998 334 to chat with no commitment.
Try it once or twice with no commitment. Even with no IT skills now, yes, it could be you.
Don’t let our friends who need you down, because yes, it could be you.

CAFOD Venezuela Earthquake Appeal - As you will have no doubt seen in the news, the situation in Northern Venezuela is dire after two devastating earthquakes struck in quick succession near Caracas last Wednesday night, 24th June. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people of Venezuela whose needs are so great at this time. Many of our neighbours in Venezuela were already struggling with basic needs and services, so your support will be needed beyond the vital search and rescue work happening right now.
