Ashfield Prison staff are collecting money for Easter eggs (or donated Eggs) to hand out to children in our local hospitals.
If you'd like to help, please give any donations to Fr Barnabas/hand into the office marked specifically for this appeal, or hand any Easter Eggs into the office by Monday evening, 23rd March, as they will be taken over to Ashfield Prison on Tuesday morning (24th).
Thank you.
*** We have a new date for the beautiful Pysanka Egg Decorating workshop, run by Vera from our Parish Project - BristolAid4Ukraine.
Join us on Sunday 29th March from 2-4pm in the parish hall where you can make a donation to the project on arrival and all materials will be provided for you to create your own beautiful decoration.
Please sign up at the back of church which will be helpful for working out number for materials etc.
Here is the updated Social Events Calendar for the year so far...
We are so lucky to have such a warm and community minded parish... see you at some, or all, of this year's events!
Concert Evening
We are delighted to be hosting a fundraising Concert (using the beautiful acoustics of our church!) on Saturday 18th April at 7.30pm.
This evening is in aid of our Church Building Fund, and our portion of the money raised will be put towards necessary upkeep and completion of projects.
Click the link below to order your ticket online or purchase from the parish office/after weekend Masses at just £10 per person.
If you aren't able to attend the concert but wish to help, please feel free to make a donation towards the 'Church Building Fund' when next at Mass, using the DONA/contactless machine at the back of church. You'll find an option on the machine to pay for your concert ticket or to make a donation instead.
Many thanks and see you there!
Many thanks and see you there!
Rosary Borrow Basket'
A very kind parishioner has created a 'Rosary Borrow Basket' for our church, which will sit on the cupboard unit as you enter the Church.
Should you wish to say the Rosary but don't have one with you, please feel free to use one of the Rosaries and the little rosary book, supplied, and pop them back afterwards.
Thank you to all our parishioners who do so many things for our community.

How lucky are we to have such an artistic and talented Parish Community!
Our Church looks so colourful at the moment with some beautifully decorated Lent plate pictures, made by the kids in our wonderful Pre-school. Plus, the children who are making their First Holy Communion this year met last night for their First Confessions and decorated a 'Sorry Tree' which is now bringing some Spring joy to our Church entrance.
We thank God for our beautiful children and for those who educate, lead, nurture and care for them.❤️
