Coffee after Sunday Mass
Refreshments are served afte 10.45 Masses every 2nd and 4th Sundays in Church Hall. This is a good time for parishioners to get to know each other and to meet those who are new to the parish.
Our volunteers are on a rota and run the ‘coffee’ twice a year on average.
If you would like to offer to join us in this activity please contact Marianne.

Book Club
Two years ago the need for fellowship and prayer with other Catholics was the springboard for the formation of the Women’s Book club & Prayer Group. Why a book club? Because we thought that a Bible study group might be too intimidating at first. We are at present five women and meet every other Monday morning in each other’s houses with coffee & yummy things to eat. There is a lot of chat (we like to call it “share for prayer”!!!). We take it in turns to choose a Christian spiritual book to read which then acts as a focus for discussion.

Now, be under no illusion, we are not theologians but women from different backgrounds with different ways of expressing our faith & often with opposing views in respect to Catholicism.. However, we are united in seeking to know & love Jesus more fully. We have read a variety of books, which although not intentionally chosen to follow a theme, have all been about the Christian life. We began with ‘To Be a Pilgrim’ by Basil Hume, followed by ‘God of Surprises’ by Gerard Hughes. We have just finished a small booklet designed as a practical prayer aid. Our next read is titled “Having a Mary Spirit” by Joanna Weaver. We always finish with a little prayer, so why not come and join us! Contact: Justine Jenner Email Phone 893 642
