These sessions are for children of primary school age between Reception and Year 6. Please do not send out children under 5 unaccompanied by an adult.

Anniversaries
Each week as a matter of practice anniversary names are inserted in the newsletter. Some of these names go back to the 1970’s and are just taken from a book kept over the years. As from next week if an Anniversary Mass is booked for that week, the name will be inserted in the list of anniversaries. Otherwise if you wish a name to be included in the newsletter list of anniversaries you should let Nicola in the Parish Office know at least a week beforehand. If you are booking an anniversary mass please say so on the envelope so that it may be read out as an anniversary of death.
