St. Patrick's Night Ceilidh: Many thanks to all of you who attended and supported our recent family ceilidh. The evening raised £348, which will go to our Diocesan Ecclesiastic Students Fund.

Sunday Morning Teas & Coffees - Thank you to all who have joined us for tea/coffee and a chat. Thank you also for your donations (currently around £300) which will go to our Diocesan Ecclesiastic Students Fund. Please Note: Teas/Coffees will be served after both Sunday morning Masses today (2nd April), but, there will be none on Easter Sunday morning. The Social Committee recently discussed and reviewed the numbers of parishioners attending teas/coffees. Whilst attendance following the 10am Mass has been very good, with an average of 35-40 parishioners attending weekly, unfortunately, attendance following the 12 o'clock has been pretty low. With only a handful of parishioners attending most weeks, the numbers do not justify continuing. Therefore, this Sunday (2 April) will be the last time tea/coffee will be served following the 12 o'clock Mass. Thank you to all who have joined us; we are sorry if this news disappoints you. Thank you, also, to our wonderful Team of volunteers—your help has been invaluable. Volunteers: You should now have received an email with further information, regarding new rotas etc. If you have not received an email, please contact Catherine Senior: [email protected] Mobile: 07555 094304. Many thanks.

The Easter Cemetery Mass will take place on Sunday 16th April at 2pm, Divine Mercy Sunday, celebrated by Bishop John. All welcome. There will be a link available to facilitate watching from home if you cannot participate in person. 

This winter initiative finishes on Friday 31st March. Many thanks to all who joined us each Friday afternoon and many thanks, also, to all our supporters in St. Cadoc’s Parish & beyond who helped to make this initiative a success.
