►With the Church re-opening again this week we need to have teams available to sanitise the church after each Mass is celebrated. Many thanks to those who have already volunteered but more are needed to help as there really are not enough volunteers  to spread the burden. If you are willing to volunteer for this very important service, please contact the Parish Office for further arrangements.
