CATHOLIC CHAPLAINCY IN HOSPITAL AND THE DATA PROTECTION ACT
Catholic Chaplains are no longer provided with lists of Catholic Patients. Therefore it
is imperative for families to notify the Priest if any member of your family is in Hospital. If we do not receive this information the sick person may not receive the Sacrament of the Sick of Holy Communion whilst in Hospital. Please contact myself and/or
Fr John Minh at St Luke’s Peterborough (01733 370877) who takes care of the hospitals there .
Gift Aid: If any one in our Gift Aid scheme has stopped paying
tax could you please let us know.
Many thanks for you continued support of this. Each year we are able

government on any money given to the parish by a taxpayer. Please
consider joining the scheme if you are a taxpayer. There is no commitment to a fixed sum as in the old covenant scheme. Many thanks

Stamford Foodbank R estoring Dignity, R eviving Hope
Since we reopened after Christmas we have been quite busy; although quieter than December. We are still getting many donations left at the centre
and our cupboards are still well stocked.
Each client who comes in with a voucher is given a parcel of food sufficient for at least three days. Our lists of foods required represents the range
of food which we include in a typical parcel. This is based on recommendations from dieticians at the Trussel Trust who have put together a balanced package taking into account the non perishable foods which are likely to be donated. Typically a food parcel will include cereal, soup, beans,
tomatoes, meat(or vegetarian), vegetables and pulses, fish, fruit, pudding
and custard, biscuits, sugar, pasta, tea, long life juice, milk, pasta sauce,
jam and chocolate; although individual packages will vary according to
what we have had donated. We also offer basic toiletries and hygiene necessities.
Currently we are only low on food stocks of custard, crumble mix and
steamed puddings. We ar e also low on shampoo, shower gel, washing
powder (we split lar ge packets) and washing up liquid.
