Broadcast Masses
From now on, the Vigil Mass and the 11 am Mass ill be broadcast on our YouTube channel in the hopes that there is continuity in service. For some reason, Sundays seem to be problematic in terms of connectivity.
Readers and Welcomers
Thanks to those who have volunteered. Volunteer forms will be available soon. There are plenty of openings for altar servers too. Canon Tom would like to welcome new lay ministers after the October break with a session in the hall and the church.
Benches in St Fillan’s
The benches in St Fillan’s are being lovingly restored after the ravages of time and the recent cleaning regime prescribed during the pandemic. The cost of each bench being refurbished is around £340. Our sincere thanks to those who have already donated, it is very much appreciated. We also have a couple of pledges; thank you!
All and any donations of whatever size will be recognised.
