PARISH NEWS
PLANNING AHEAD
Please watch the newsletter and website for any update of when the church can open for congregational Mass. Until then, please join me for Mass and in Spiritual Communion. My prayers are offered up to you all. God Bless you until we can meet again for public worship.
CHRISTMAS RAFFLE
You asked and we listened! This years Christmas raffle tickets are available from the Parish Office now! Some will also be available in the Church to collect if you attend the sessions of Private Prayer. The Parish Office is open 9am to 1pm only Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Preferably just make one visit to collect and pay for tickets if at all possible! This year they are £1 each and top prize is £150 cash, with 10 other prizes including alcohol and chocolates! If you are unable to attend the office please email sittingbourne@rcaos.org.uk and we shall try to work with you to organise a suitable way of enabling you to purchase tickets.
FOOD BANK “From parishioners, for parishioners”
If you wish to support this project and help those who are struggling financially in the parish, you can donate non-perishable goods to the office door Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am-1pm. Or leave them in the porch when the church is open during personal prayer time. Details of distribution to follow.
PARISH CENSUS
We have decided to take this opportunity of lockdown to try to contact all parishioners on our email contact list and update our database that would normally have been done by asking you to complete a census form at this time of the year. As a number of you we don't currently have email addresses for we are appealing to you here, so if you have had a "Census" email and already responded then please ignore this appeal:
Assuming you are happy to do so could you please click on the link to download a short form and send it by email to sittingbourne@rcaos.org.uk CENSUS FORM Thank you
MASS INTENTIONS
If you would like a Mass said for the repose of the soul of a loved one or the wellbeing of family or friends, please contact the Parish Office.
CAR PARK
Thanks to the generosity of Parishioners the Car Park is well advanced with the surface done and the wooden gates nearing completion. The next project is the iron gate at the front of the entrance to stop the new surface being damaged and providing security to the Church and car park. Your continuous financial support to complete this project would be much appreciated.
LUCKY NUMBERS
Can anyone who currently has a lucky number and usually pays by cash or cheque please drop your money in an envelope into the Parish Office during opening hours Monday, Wednesday or Friday 9am to 1pm. It is £12 per number per annum. If anyone is not currently a member of the Lucky Numbers Scheme please contact the office on sittingbourne@rcaos.org.uk to "purchase" a number. A draw takes place once per month and there are 4 cash prizes each month for a £12 per annum up front cost. All proceeds go to the Church.
