COLLECTIONS

This Weekend – for Arundel & Brighton Lourdes Pilgrimage Fund

(Eligible for Parish Gift Aid)

Lourdes Pilgrimage Appeal: On our annual Pilgrimage to Lourdes we take around 700 pilgrims including 150 assisted pilgrims who need our help to make the journey. The Pilgrimage relies on the efforts of volunteers and donors to enable it to offer financial assistance to Assisted Pilgrims. The second collection this weekend 8th February is for the Diocesan Lourdes Appeal. Please be generous. For more information please visit https:// www.abdiocese.org.uk/lourdes/home

Please keep Fr Tony in your prayers, following his admission to hospital on Christmas Day for serious emergency surgery. We continue to pray for his swift recovery, comfort, and for the medical team guiding his care. May he feel the support of our parish community during this time. Please see the parish newsletter and website for any updates. If you have any concerns please contact the parish office during normal working hours.

Fr Tony has established a team to manage the day-today life of the parish in his absence. The group will keep things going, but the real life of the parish shouldn’t be too different as each of us tries to bring the holiness of God to the people around us in this part of the World.
