PHOTOS OF OUR
STATIONS OF THE CROSS & SOUTH DOWNS FUNDRAISING WALK
HELD ON SATURDAY 20
MARCH 2010
The 5th Station at Steyning - Simon helps Jesus carry the
cross
A big thank you
to the many who helped and took part in the Stations of the Cross
and South Downs Walk event on Saturday 20
March - over 60 participated! Special thanks to Frances Arter whose brainchild it was, and who spent
much time in the preparation and arrangements for it, and to Nick
Pope who drove his own double-decker bus to ferry parishioners to
Steyning! (and brought the non-walkers back again!).
Sr.
Katalin has phoned Shelagh and she and the parishioners of
St. John the Baptist Church in Zsámbék thank the parishioners of Our
Lady of England for the years of support and vital financial help.
Over
Ł1,000 was raised on Saturday, which will be sent to Sr. Katalin after Easter.

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.
As a Parish we are good at this so..... watch this space for
further ideas. If you have an idea to add, let a member of
the
Zsámbék
'Think Tank' know!

VISIT TO THE
PARISH BY SISTER KATALIN
15 March 2009
.jpg)
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 total received for our 2009 Lent
Project and
Zsámbék including the Fund Raising Tea plus generous
donations have raised a grand total Ł5,800. Thank you to all who
supported our Project. |

Several of the former
Storrington Norbertine Associates made a trip to Zsámbék in May 2008, along
with Fr Martin.
The Day
Care Centre in Zsámbék 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.
