Traidcraft Stall
The Traidcraft stall WILL be available after all Masses this week. We have the new catalogue and a lot of new stock so please do come and have a look. Like everyone else the Traidcraft producers have suffered from the credit crunch and so need our support more than ever where we are able to give it.

Heating Situation!
As only one child, four teenagers and four adults from a large congregation asked for the heating to be put on early, we will put the heating on in October. One is reminded of Billy Connolly's famous quip "there is no such thing as bad weather - only the wrong clothing"!
Thank You
Morag and Jim Murray and family wish to express their sincere thanks to all the parishioners who supported them during Kevin's short, acute illness and his death. The many Mass cards and expressions of sympathy were a source of great comfort as was all the support given by Father McGrorry.
