ANNUAL COLLECTION FOR THE PRIEST TRAINING FUND:
Next weekend the annual collection for the Priest Training Fund will take place.  This is a particularly important collection as we now have 40 men training for the Priesthood in our Seminary.  This is more than double the number we had 10 years ago which is wonderful news.  But it also means that more money needs to be raised as is cost around £50 a day to prepare every seminarian for the Priesthood.  There are envelopes available today for you to take away and return next weekend.  Thank you for your support.
