Are You Thinking about Becoming a Catholic?
The weekly sessions of the R.C.I.A. begin in October and carry on until post Easter. This group consists of others exploring the idea of becoming a Roman Catholic; of a theme each week exploring the understanding of faith in the Roman Catholic Church and of a priest and one or two parishioners to help you. No one will put pressure on you and you are free to leave at any stage if you feel it is not for you. If you would like to know more, then pick up a leaflet from the table in the porch or speak to Fr. Michael

Please be generous.

Remember it is your duty to serve whenever you are needed – during August you are always needed!  The last rota to be published will be put up on Saturday 12th July and will cover the weekend of 19th and 20th July.  The next rota published will be put up on Saturday 30th August and will cover the weekend of 6th and 7th September.

Could all visitors please enter the school grounds through the footpath via Ruislip Rugby Club, parking available in the Rugby Club Car Park. Any disabled parishioners may use the school car park via the front drive. We look forward to seeing many of you on the evening

Hesdin Hall Key Holders
For insurance purposes we need to know who has a key for Hesdin Hall. If you or your group or organisation do have one or more keys, would you please drop a note or an e-mail to Nicole Burke at the Parish Office. If everybody cooperates, this will hopefully ensure we have a full list of key holders and thus will prevent us from having to install a new lock.

Hesdin Hall Kitchen
Those with food and drink stored in the fridge or cupboards in Hesdin Hall kitchen have requested that other users please respect that these are not for general use and should not be used.
