Parish Jumble Sale - 13th March
Why not start clearing out those old books, cds, videos, toys, household, shoes, clothes, bags and bric-a-brac and let Cathy Young (956 4487) or Margaret Harkness (956 4715) know if you need anything collected. The Theresa Hall will be open Thursday 11th and Friday 12th March from 6pm - 8pm for donations.
Helper's wanted for the day - please call Cathie Young on 956 4487.
Sunday Café
We are very lucky that we have enough men and women who are willing to give up their time once a month to prepare teas and coffees in the hall. However, we are still a few members short. Please let Father McGrorry know if you can help.
On a related matter, those who prepare food in the hall should have a basic Food Hygiene Certificate. While some of our parishioners do have this, it would be great to have a few more with this qualification. This involves a one day course which we can arrange in the Parish hall if there is enough interest. Again, please let Father McGrorry know.

The 60+ Club will meet tomorrow at 2.00pm in the Theresa Hall. Please enter by side door. All welcome.
