Listen! ..... can you hear that?....... ...........No?
That's because our bells aren't working at the moment!
Our fancy automatic bell system took a hit when we had the localised power cut/surge a couple of weeks ago and so it has gone to 'bell hospital' to be lovingly cared for.
We hope the sound of the noon and 6pm Angelus and the weekend call to Mass bells will be back with us soon.

Live Simply
Being a "Live Simply" Parish, here are six catchy ways (thanks Radio 4) to care for our planet and all life…
*EAT GREEN-a little less meat and no waste
*DRESS RETRO-why do we need more clothes?
*TRAVEL FRESH-walk a little more
*HOLIDAY LOCAL-discover the area
*END CLUTTER-shop less
*CHANGE THE SYSTEM-talk to your friends (how good it feels!) & if you doubt what difference a small act can make, try a smile. Why not decide to greet someone you haven't talked to before each time you come to church?
Community 'Warm Space' Cafe
We had about 25 people drop in to our Community Cafe in the first week for cuppas and company.
A wonderful start!
Everyone is welcome so please come along if you are free.
Every Friday from 1.30-3.30pm in the Parish Hall, Boscombe Crescent BS16 6QR
