Parish Repository – The parish repository stall will be available today Sunday, 23rd November and on

CHRISTMAS ENDOWMENTS - after a lot of thought, it has been decided to decorate the church in a
different way this Christmas. Although the poinsettias and hyacinths look lovely during the Christmas
Masses, conditions in the church are rather unsuitable for the plants in the longer term. The endowments
having been so very popular over the years, with parishioners remembering loved ones at this special time,
we will this year offer the chance of a personal memory being attached to stylised Christmas trees and
banners hanging from the pillars in the church. Look out for the usual forms which will be printed and left
at the back of the church in the next few weeks. Thank you.
St Peter’s/St Gildas’ Christmas Market – The Friends of St Peter’s/St Gildas’ Schools are holding their New
Christmas Market on Sunday, 7th December from 12.30-3.30pm. There will be lots of fun things to do,
including arts and crafts, tombola….together with plenty of BBQ and homemade food, entertainment and mulled
wine. Come along and join in the fun of this special event.
Joint Pilgrimage to Italy with Holy Trinity Church - We have organised a week-long pilgrimage to
Ravenna, Padua and Bologna from 24th - 30th October 2015. The cost (based on a shared room) will be £919
per person, including flights from Stansted, half board accommodation, entrance fees and coach travel in Italy.
Further details are available from Jennifer in the office, to whom initial bookings should be returned. F Patrick
