Congratulations!
St Augustine's Parish Community sends their heartfelt Congratulations to Christine and Peter who were married last week.
The sun shone on the wedding (after some morning showers) and we hear that it was a lovely, fun day for the family and friends who attended.
With Best Wishes to the Happy Couple!

Memorial Garden Bench.
We have been approached by 3 families to help fund a bench so there is somewhere for people to sit when visiting the memorial garden.
The costs for installation, groundwork & a composite bench (for longevity) will be approx. £700.
Should anyone else wish to donate towards this, please contact the office or hand in a donation to the presbytery or make a donation online, making it clear it is for the 'bench', by 22nd June.
If there happens to be any surplus donated it will be used for the memorial garden’s upkeep.

"Eyes down for a full house" Come along for a Night at the Bingo!
A few of our parishioners are raising money in support of Jesuit Refugee Service UK and are running a BINGO night in our parish hall on Saturday 7th June at 8pm.
They warmly invite everyone to come along for a fun evening of Bingo at only £5 per person (BYO drinks and nibbles).
See poster for details of how to buy your ticket.
"The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organisation, at work in over 50 countries around the world with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate for the rights of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons.
JRS UK has a special ministry to those who find themselves destitute as a consequence of government policies and those detained for the administration of immigration procedures.
Our work is carried out in the spirit of mutual respect, dignity and solidarity with the refugees and forced migrants, and in collaboration with other organisations. Our work expresses the commitment of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) to stand with refugees around the world."
