Parish Census:
We are launching our parish census on Saturday and Sunday 9/10 December and then on the following weekend 16th / 17th.  You will be able to access the online form via THIS LINK. A paper copy is also available for anyone who is unable to use the online version. If you require help in accessing the form please contact the webmaster at tom.vellacott888@gmail.com

 Introduction of a dedicated space for young children and parents/carers
From January 2024 there will be a dedicated space for use by very young children and their parents/carers during weekend masses which will enable children to be occupied in a quiet, but positive manner during mass. There will be toys, books, puzzles, etc., at the back of church in an identified area for your children (or grandchildren) to be able to use, with specific seating for yourselves to remain with them. 
As always, there is a risk assessment to follow which you will be given a copy of for your information and to reassure you all safety risks and measures have been considered.
As part of the risk mitigations, we do need to ensure that we have identified adults who will act as volunteers to ensure the quiet corner is set up before Saturday night / Sunday morning masses and that it is cleared after Sunday morning mass. Clearing away will include the checking and cleaning of all toys to ensure they remain safe for use. We require as many adults as possible who will be utilising the area to volunteer to take part in a rota to over see this. If you are able to assist with the volunteer rota please could you contact Rachel Shiel via the parish admin email address (link below) or speak to Rachel or Fr Patrick when at church.
