Young volunteers

It is lovely that young people continue to come forward to volunteer at our food bank each Saturday. This is very encouraging to the team of adults, as it gives us a breath of fresh air and an opportunity to share lessons and to pass on experience. We try and ensure that the young people participate in a number of roles so that they go forward with a positive memory and with some useful life skills.

Bingo evening, food bank support

Thank you once again for your support of ‘Gifted’ last weekend and for the upcoming bingo evening too. Hall numbers are limited this year due to a recent safety audit, so we hope you managed to get a ticket. Apologies to any of our regulars who have missed out. We hope that you are not too disappointed.

A thank you, also, to everyone who continues to donate to the food bank. It is as busy as ever each Saturday and your help is always gratefully received by our clients.

Duke of Edinburgh

Thank you in advance for the continuing support you show for the SVP! This weekend the SVP shop, known as ‘Gifted’, is open before and after all masses. We are selling tickets for the SVP’s St. Patrick’s Day Bingo Evening. This fundraiser will be held on Saturday, March 14, with eyes down at 7pm. Don’t miss out on your ticket as numbers are limited.

On a different note, we continue to see fabulous young people come forward to help us at the food bank each Saturday. Since the start of the year, we have gained almost a football team-sized group! This helps them achieve their Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) goals and it helps us spread the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit to our food bank clients – so a win-win!! Please pray for these young people as they are our future.

St. Patrick's Day Bingo

Diaries can get very busy, very quickly, these days so this note is a heads up, well ahead of time! The SVP St Patrick’s Day Bingo Evening will be held on Saturday, March 14, with eyes down at 7pm. Tickets will be on sale next weekend after all masses so please pop by the SVP shop, Gifted, to purchase yours! There is a safety limit to the number of people allowed in the hall for an event such as this so it is best to purchase your tickets sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. Thank you for all your support in advance.
