Welcome
to Our Parish's Life and Activities

ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SUNDAY 27 SEPTEMBER
1.    We will now take the second collection. Today’s second collection is to help cover the cost of Fr Francis’ stay with us.

2.    There will be a meeting at 7.30 this Tuesday, 29th September, to discuss construction and fund-raising plans for our new Parish Hall. All interested parishioners are welcome to attend.

3.    Our Autumn Fayre will be held on the afternoon of Sunday 11th October from 12.00 to 3.00. We need donations of bottles, cakes, preserves, books and raffle prizes. You can leave these in the containers in the meeting area. If you can help to set up the Fayre or by running a stall, please sign up on the list in the meeting area.

4.    A reminder that membership subscriptions for the St Margaret’s 180 Club are due for renewal. Membership is just £18 per year. You can join the 180 Club by completing the form available in the church porch. Members can renew their subscriptions by scanning the QR code on the poster in the meeting area, by bank transfer, by cheque, by payment at the card machine or by speaking to Wendy after this Mass. 

5.    The Daughters of Divine Love are with us this weekend selling raffle tickets to support their work with disadvantaged children and vulnerable people. The raffle will be drawn at their Annual Dinner Dance on 17th October and the prizes are £150, £100 and £50.

6.    If you are attending St Margaret’s for the first time, you are very welcome. We are a welcoming, diverse and inclusive parish – so, if you are new here, please introduce yourself to Fr Anthony, Fr Francis and our Welcomers and join us for tea and coffee after Mass. And, as always, please could anyone who sees someone new to the parish make a point of approaching them and making them welcome.

7.    Lisa will now speak to us about next week’s Family Fast Day collection.
