Volunteer Appeal

As you may be aware the Relics of St Bernadette are visiting Ss. Peter & Paul’s Church on the Weekend of November 2nd to 4th. It is a great privilege to be chosen to host the relics.

While they are with us we will need to have parishioners on site at all times to assist those who will come to venerate the relics. We hope to have at least two volunteers in the church at all times during the visit.

We ask you to consider volunteering as a steward during this time. If you feel you can help please fill in the short questionnaire on the link below to register your name, or contact Martina at the parish office on 0906492171 (Weekday Mornings)We thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely

John Daly

Chairperson Parish Pastoral Council.
