Youth Mission to St Benet’s

 

The event to design posters went very well despite wet weather preventing an outside picnic. There are some very creative people in the deanery.  I was proud to see that the biggest representation of young people from St Benet’s present was from St Bede’s. Our young people are going to finish their work in the presbytery on Tuesday 22nd July at 2.00pm. Any willing people to help us in this will be appreciated The mission prayer continues to be said at the end of weekend Masses.  If I remember!

 

Carmelites

 

There will be a Carmelite meeting today (Sunday).  All are welcome.
