WHEN IN HOSPITAL
The Catholic Chaplaincy Team of any hospital needs to be informed if you or a
relative wish to be seen by chaplaincy. Either inform a member of the ward
staff that you wish to have a chaplaincy visit or let Fr Kevin know and he will
pass on details to the Catholic chaplain’s office.
CAFOD EVENING on Thursday 26 March, 7 – 9pm at Star of the Sea Parish
Centre, St Albans Road, Lytham, More details in porch
Did you know…. for over two decades, CAFOD supporters
have been among those urging the UK government to keep its
promise to the world’s poorest people? Victory has not come
easily, but this week, Lords supported a bill that guarantees the
UK’s commitment to overseas aid. This year alone, UK aid
helped over 5 million children go to school, provided more than
19.5 million people with clean water and helped turn the tide in
the fight against Ebola. It’s a historic week; a sign of unity and
solidarity – one we can be proud of.
Envelopes for 2015/2016 will be available in the hall this weekend (14th and 15th
March) in alphabetical order.
If you would like envelopes and don't have them at present
If you would prefer to pay by standing order
If you are a tax payer and would like to Gift Aid (at no extra cost to yourself)
If you are no longer a tax payer
If you have had envelopes in the past and they are missing this year
please contact Linda Forster 01772 632260 or [email protected]
Once again, many thanks for your support.
