Sea Sunday - 11^th July

Next week is Sea Sunday, when the Church remembers all those who live and work at sea. This year is also "The year of the Seafarer", and so is a very important year for Apostleship of the Sea and seafarers. Sea Sunday is your chance to help AoS make a real difference to the lives of seafarers.

Mitsidi Sunday

This is Mitsidi Sunday and the Mitsidi table will be available as usual in the Theresa Hall for donations. The Mitsidi Update which usually appears as an insert in the Bulletin will resume again after the holidays.
