REVISION OF THE PARISH ELECTORAL ROLL

The parish electoral roll is now being revised in preparation for the Annual Meetings to take place on 10 May. Forms are available from Sheila Polanyk or Fr Dexter, and must be returned by 19 April.

SAFEGUARDING SURVEY

The diocese is undergoing an audit of its safeguarding processes this year. As part of that, we are invited to take part in a survey arranged by Ineqe, the company carrying out the audit. Postcards with details of the survey are at the back of church. Unfortunately, the survey can only be completed online. The deadline for the survey is 6 May.

GIFT ENVELOPES

The weekly gift envelopes for the year commencing Sunday 12 April are now at the back of church. Please take your pack.

There are a few sets still available—if you think it would be helpful to have a set, please speak to David Fletcher. Using these envelopes helps people ensure that they can give a regular weekly amount which helps the parish with its budgeting.

READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY’S MASSES
