Dear Parishioners, St. Peter’s Parish Council decided to go ahead with a project to help vulnerable people in India, through helping a charitable organisation. The aim of the project is to pay school fees for children and the target goal this January is £500. Our partner in India is St. Agnes Charitable organisation, who help the poorest Indian children living in some of the worst conditions. Further information will be available during the first week of January, and we thank you for all your donations and prayers.
Donations of warm clothing, coats and shoes etc. for men and essential accessories and backpacks, suitcases. Please leave at back of St. Peter’s and St. Columba’s Church.
Small Christmas presents and cash donations to buy small presents will be appreciated.
Next Sunday 11 January we celebrate the *Rite of Our Father at 09.30 and 11.30 Masses. Children preparing for First Holy Communion will receive the prayer of the Our Father during their journey of growing in faith and their relationship with God.
