Social Action Survey


Please consider filling in a survey form, which will help Deacon Chris get an idea about what people are willing to do in terms of joint outreach and social action. Please note that this is a SURVEY, NOT A COMMITMENT: YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING.


St Fillan’s Memorial Hall


We have reached the stage when we as a parish need to decide what we do next. Canon Tom Will talk about this at the end of Mass.


Canon Andrew Clark


On Thursday 1st September at 7 pm we shall celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Canon Andrew’s priestly ordination. This will be followed by a buffet in the hall. All are welcome. If you have any dietary requirements, would you please indicate them on the sheet provided.


Canon Tom would like to offer the chance for folk to contribute towards a gift to Canon Andrew, and so there will be a special collection next week at the Sunday Masses.
