The CAFOD collection will be next Sunday October 7th. CAFOD Harvest Fast Day: October 2012. It’s shocking to think that nearly a billion people will go to bed hungry tonight. For the first few years of his life, 9-year-old Gift from Zambia often had nothing to eat but pumpkin leaves, day after day. But then CAFOD gave Gift’s family the tools, seeds and training they needed to set up a vegetable garden – and today they are flourishing. To help many more families like Gift’s, please give what you can at Fast Day. Envelopes are available in church this week and next week. Thank you for your generosity. A speaker from CAFOD will be present next weekend.

SECONDARY SCHOOL SIGNING: Fr John will be signing secondary school application forms on Monday 15th & Tuesday 16th October from 3.30pm to 7pm in the Presbytery. Let’s recall what you are doing. As parents you are applying to a Catholic secondary school to accept your child into year 7. Where the school has more applicants than places available, the school gives priority to practicing Catholics. This is estimated on your weekendMass attendance so on the application form you state how often you attend Church: weekly/fortnightly etc. The priest is asked to verify your statement. In this parish there is a well established practice of how to do this. The last thing the priest wants is an argument with a parent over their Christian practice.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FR JOHN WILL BE SIGNING SCHOOL APPLICATION FORM FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL ONLY. NURSERY AND RECEPTION FORMS WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER
