The draw will take place TODAY in the Club, during the Coffee Morning. (Fr Ronnie wants to know who gets any unclaimed prizes . . . 'stand behind me son!') The proceeds will go towards the Senior Citizens Christmas Party.

Thanks to those who have already started to send in their TESCO Computers for Schools Vouchers! We have done very well from your generosity in the past and hope we will continue that this year. Please place them on the offertory plate or hand them in.
