A CONTINUOUS BIG THANK-YOU
From Francis Manton and David Shetcliffe for those sponsors who have already honoured their pledges so soon after the boys completed their 15km run in return for sponsorship to Bolivia. If you were one of the many kind parishioners who pledged support for David and Francis in their efforts to raise funds for this expedition; then please place your donation in an envelope marked ‘Sponsored Bolivia Run’, available at the back of the church and put it in with the offertory collection OR through the presbytery door. Francis and David will also be available at the end of each mass this weekend should you wish to pass your pledges on directly to them.
Thank you once again

Welcome
Congratulations to those baptised in our Church yesterday – Joseph Morris, Joshua Garry-Stratford, Michael Crouch, Callum Reid and Luca Gell, and to Katie Chapman and Molly Lakin baptised at 11.30am mass today. .

Congratulations
Many congratulations and prayers to the 73 children who received First Holy Communion for the first time over these past weeks and to the 53 young people who received the Sacrament of Confirmation. A big thank you to all the catechists involved; the choir and folk group; the servers and floral ladies, and collectors.

YCAP
We congratulate all the young people who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last weekend and extend to them a special invitation to develop and maintain the new friendships they have discovered by coming along to the Parish Youth Group, YCAP. YCAP exists as an opportunity for young people, 13 to 18 years old, to meet in a spirit of fun and friendship.  In addition to pizza and coke, the group enters into lively, challenging and open discussions on topics relevant to young people today. It explores and develops our faith and how the Gospel message relates to our day to day lives and strives to find ways of making young people central to the life of the parish with initiatives such as Youth Masses incorporating "young people's" music. Much enjoyed DVD evenings and outings to places such as Westminster Cathedral, soup kitchens and care homes are scheduled for the coming year; so please do come along on Sunday evenings between 7 and 8.30pm in the Coffee Lounge. The next meeting will be on Sunday 25th of May.
