THE VIEW FROM THE PRESBYTERY
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO MASS ON THURSDAY FOR THE FEAST OF SS PETER & PAUL.
WE ARE VERY SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THIS, HOWEVER, AS HARD AS TRIED, WE COULD NOT FIND A PRIEST WHO COULD HELP.
POPE’S INTENTION FOR JUNE:
For the abolition of torture. We pray that the international community may commit in a concrete way to ensuring the abolition of torture and guarantee support to victims and their families.
IF YOU GO IN TO HOSPITAL: If someone is sick in hospital, please let us know here at the Presbytery, and/or ask the staff on the ward, so that your loved one can be visited whilst in hospital, and receive Holy Communion and any other Sacraments from the Chaplain.

Parish Sewing Group
Monday 3rd July 10am – 1pm
If you have some skills or interest in sewing or textiles, you may just be the person we need! Do come along and meet others over tea, coffee and cake in the Church Hall. We have plenty of repair projects and restoration works that need doing in our parish. You might even learn something new or possibly be the one to pass on a new skill to another. All are welcome!
We need volunteers with portable sewing machines, sewing boxes, needles and tools that do not mind bringing them to the church hall. Any donations of fabrics, cottons, embellishments etc. are always welcome. Please bring them along or leave them with Sue Walker in the church hall.
If you are interested in participating or wish to find out more about what you can do to help, get in touch via: hertfordguildservers@gmail.com
