St Vincent de Paul Society
The society was set up by Blessed Fredrick Oznam and some of his friends in response to the crushing poverty they had witnessed in Paris. Today, the society continues the work of its founders by helping those who may find them in financial difficulty or are poor in other ways- loneliness, illness or being marginalised. If you or someone you know may feel that our St Vincent de Paul conference could help in some way, please speak to one of the members of the society or to Fr Paul. Matters are always held in the strictest confidence.
Diocesan Pilgrimage to Carfin
The Diocesan pilgrimage to Carfin will take place this year on Sunday 15th August, the Solemnity of the Assumption. The day begins at 3pm. The day will mirror a day in Lourdes. There is a list available in the Foyer for parishioners to indicate whether they would be interested in attending the day at Carfin on a coach. If you know of anyone who is ill and would like to attend the day, please add their name to the list also. This will allow the organisers to plan for the number of sick and the number of helpers required.

Home baking would be gladly accepted for this. Please bring the home baking to the parish house on Saturday or to the cry chapel on Sunday morning.
