Vote for the Common Good
The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales have issued a statement in advance of the General Election called 'Vote for the Common Good'. The intention is to provide some reflections on the Church's social teaching. Copies are available at the back of Church today and each household is invited to take one. It is available on the internet on www.catholic-ew.org.uk Please note. The Bishops are not telling people how to vote but are asking people to look at the social teaching of the church and how they relate to the issues facing society today.

Christian Aid Week 13th -19th May
Christian Aid Week Envelopes are available at the back of church, please take one today and bring them back next week. There is a collection at one of the local supermarkets next Saturday - if you can spare an hour to collect, please contact Miss Connor / Fr Cooper.
