X CLERGY SUPPORT FUND SECOND COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND - The clergy in our Archdiocese have given us so much. They have been there for us in our happiest moments and comforted us when we have lost loved ones. Supporting priests in their retirement is one way to show your appreciation for all they have done for parishes. You make supporting our clergy in retirement possible, find out how to donate to the Clergy Support Fund at www.rcaos.org.uk/donate/CSF. 

You can also donate via telephone office hours Mon-Fri 020 7960 2504 or by using the Clergy Support Fund envelopes available today at the back of Church. Please continue to keep our Priests in your prayers. 

X THE SICK - We remember all those who are sick and housebound and that they remain in our prayers including Bob Vickery, Canon Luke Smith, Sheelagh (Mary) Crowther, Beulah Blomfield, John Lodge, Robert Jones, Veronica Poulton, Margaret Woolley, Ema Deba, Rosaleen Kelly, King Charles and all those who have asked for our prayers.
