WEDNESDAY CRAFT MORNINGS
On
the fourth Wednesday of each month
from 10am - 12.30pm
in the Priory Hall.
If anyone would like to
join in with the craft mornings making items for
the Christmas sale, but cannot make it on the
4th Wednesday of each month we’d be happy to let
you know what’s needed. Perhaps you’d like to
knit or sew something at home and we have
several other little jobs for which no great
talent is needed.
For further details contact Pat Harris via Fr Martin.
ALL ARE WELCOME!

OUR LADY OF
ENGLAND PARISH
"A
VARIETY OF ACTS" FUNDRAISER FOR ZSÁMBÉK
(Once seen never forgotten!)
Held Saturday 24th October at 7.00pm
in the Priory Hall
Sister Act!
CONGRATULATIONS and a big THANK YOU to all who took part in
'Once Seen, Never Forgotten' for Zsámbék: to the Baileys and
their team, to all who performed, to all who contributed
last minute touches and to all who paid so generously for
the privilege of helping our families in
Zsámbék. The money
raised will be a lifeline for many and, added to an Advent
collection, will help them to start 2010 warm, hopeful and
thankful. |
VISIT TO THE
PARISH BY SISTER KATALIN
15 March 2009

Sister Katalin and Shelagh McGovern
Over 70 people attended a
fundraising tea in the Priory hall on the afternoon of Sunday 15 March.
The guest of honour was Sister Katalin who was visiting the parish
to thank people for their continued support of the Zsámbék Project.
Shelagh McGovern gave a very informative talk, illustrated with slides,
about where the money went that we have raised. Following Shelagh's talk
Sister Katalin answered questions from various people before we had a
bumper tea. Canonical Vespers in the church concluded our afternoon.
Much work and
effort went into the planning of Sister Katalin visit and with the
fundraising that was centred on the Afternoon Tea. Some people also
worked hard to see that Sister had a mini-holiday as well as a visit to
us all.
The Day
Care Centre in Zsámbék we support was designed to help, primarily, the gypsy
children by feeding them before and after normal day school and by
providing a place for both homework and extra lessons. The Vocational
School was set up to teach young adults job skills such as catering,
dress making, building, carpentry etc. to help them find employment in
the area rather than have them drift into the city and all the problems
that brings.
