PRAYER - ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

FOODBANK OLOL
Thank you to the parishioners who have donated so far - a £120 has been raised. This will be spent on extra goodies for Christmas but also to help boost the foodbank stocks in general. We have lists of what is required and the demand is greater than ever. Barbara and Penny will be making the Christmas delivery in the middle of December so if anyone else would like to contribute financially, please feel free to do so. Thank you for your generosity so far.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION 2021
I am sure that everyone is aware of the massive disruption COVID-19 has had on the First Holy Communion programme for 2020. Despite all the efforts of the Church and the Catechist team, we cannot seem to cross the line and complete the programme to enable the children to receive their First Holy Communion.
Therefore, the programme has had to be postponed again until such time we can complete this safely. Please see the newsletter and website for further details regarding the 2021 programme.
