ALMSGIVING DURING LENT: Once again, we will be collecting boxes of long-life full-cream milk for the feeding scheme at St Mary’s School. Please leave your donations at the Cathedral, Nazareth House or Villa Maria.
FOREIGN CURRENCY FUNDRAISER: If you have any old or foreign currency (coins or notes) at home that you do not use, please consider donating it to the parish. You are welcome to drop them into the collection boxes or bring them to the office. We will then have them exchanged and will use the proceeds for the needs of the parish. Thank you for your support.
