PRIEST TRAINING FUND COLLECTION:
The number of men training for the Priesthood has steadily increased in recent years. Thirty five men are currently in formation. This is wonderful news but it also means that the Priest Training Fund needs to bring in more money to cover the cost of their training. Please give as much as you can afford to today’s collection so that the Priest Training Fund can continue to seek out, support and train those men who God is calling to the Priesthood. You can also make a donation on line by visiting www.rcdow.org.uk/donations

will be held on Sunday May 10th after the 9.45 Mass in the Parish Hall. Subscriptions in by Saturday 9th please.
PLANNED GIVING SCHEME:
It would be a great help to the Parish if you were able to donate your Offerings each week through the Planned Giving envelope scheme or by standing order. If you are a UK taxpayer, you are also eligible to “Gift Aid” your donation, which allows the Parish to reclaim 25% of the amount from HMRC with no cost to yourself. Application forms are in the porch at the back of the church. Thank you.
