Spanish Mass in Honour of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patroness of Mexico and of all of Latin America. Fr. Frazer will celebrate Mass in Spanish for our Spanish speaking parishioners on Thursday 12th December at 7:30pm in the church. Images of Our Lady of Guadalupe may be brought to the church for blessing. All welcome.
Christmas Flowers Workshop
We are very fortunate in our Parish to have two professional florists Joanna and Ali who are going to give a demonstration at the workshop on Friday 13th December (see notice at back of church) and prepare arrangements for the church for Christmas. Those who attend will also make their very own floral decoration (with expert supervision) to take home! There will be refreshments and Christmas music and it is a great opportunity to meet other parishioners and put names to faces! To help the organisers gauge numbers for the purposes of materials, please contact Ali (hello@bloomologie.co.uk) or Joanna (info@joannamarriottflowers.co.uk) to confirm you are coming. Payment of £15 to cover materials may be made using the following link: https://square.link/u/ydWn4tzp?src=sheet or pay on the night.
A Message from the Parish Justice & Peace Group
Many thanks for your generous clothing donations to the Manna Centre. This weekend is the launch of the 2024 Christmas Giving Tree Appeal which will run until 5 January. Members of the Justice and Peace Group (J&P) will be speaking after the Masses to explain how you can donate a Christmas present for someone in need. Information is also on the J&P notice board. The basket for donations to Greenwich Foodbank is being relocated to the right hand side of the lobby as you enter the Church.
