In light of our “rock” of a Church Toilets’ Cleaner sustaining a nasty injury, we will need volunteers to clean the toilets at Sacred Heart and St Philip Howard. So Cn John will be looking to ‘press gang’ some volunteers, please!
We are currently experiencing problems with the boiler at Sacred Heart and unfortunately we do not have heating in the church. If you are attending Mass this weekend at Sacred Heart please come wrapped up for a swift service. We do have heating in the hall so our Children's Liturgy group will still be snug! The heating engineer is coming out on Monday so hopefully we will be weatherproof very soon!
