Do you know anyone who is housebound and isn’t able to come to mass? Would they like to hear mass over the phone? The parish has a conference phone link scheme operating that allows our housebound parishioners to hear the 6.30pm Saturday mass in their homes over the telephone. This enables them to both feel part of our parish and fulfil their Sunday mass obligation.The scheme is open to anyone who is housebound either permanently or even temporarily. It is easy to set up, parishioners just need a phone and there is no charge, the parish covers the cost. If you know of anyone who would benefit from this scheme, please contact the parish office with their details. Why don’t you volunteer? We need volunteers urgently! The phone link scheme needs someone to set it up and greet parishioners joining the phone link. It is very simple and operates at the 6.30pm Saturday mass. Currently we only have 2 volunteers! This is not enough to ensure the scheme can continue. This is a great service to our housebound parishioners; please help us to make sure it can continue! If you would like to volunteer, please leave your details with the parish office.
