THE PARISH WEBSITE  is being used by folk outside the parish to find out the times of Mass at St Teresa’s. That is nice to know! Please have a look at the website and if you have any suggestions to make as to how it might be improved please have a word with me. Alternatively you could have a word with Paula and Miles Cunningham. Most young people have computers these days and I hope that those away from their home and parish would use our website to keep in touch. I know that one parishioner living very far away keeps faithfully in touch and reads our newsletter every week.

 

WELCOME FATHER TOM KENNY  who will be looking after your spiritual needs next week whilst I have a few days away – this time in Pembrokeshire. Father Tom will be with you next week-end and then I shall be back so that you will not be without a priest the following week.

 

CATECHISM CLUB  St Teresa’s Catechism Club starts its new year on Tuesday 15th September. Our club is open to all our parish children in years reception, one, two and three. We meet every Tuesday in the clubroom from 3.45 to 5.00pm during the school terms. This club gives our children the opportunity to come and enjoy the friendship of others, and to grow in the love of Jesus and His Church. For further information contact Theresa Aldis on 345279.

 

ST TERESA’S FEAST DAY  For the feast of our patron saint, and to mark the visit of the relics to England we invite everyone to contribute to a display.
