What’s on Locally…

BISHOP TREANOR wrote in his Pastoral Letter for the Jubilee of Mercy: “ I invite everyone in the Diocese to observe a special “ Day of Mercy” on the last Friday of every month beginning on Friday, 29th January and concluding on Friday, 28th October 2016. This should be a day of prayer, fasting and almsgiving; a day when we remember God’s mercy for us and share that mercy with others.” To support parishioners in the observance of the Day of Mercy a Diocesan Prayer Book has been published. This attractive and practical Prayer Book is available in the church this weekend, 23rd/24th January. Price: £1
