Parish Picnic

We would like to thank for the support
in organising our annual parish picnic.
We just wouldn’t have been able
to hold this day without you!
Many thanks to all the volunteers
who worked hard in setting up the site
arranging food and drinks,
operating BBQ, baked waffles
painter glitter tattoos, operated karaoke
and helped clearing up afterwards.
Thank you so much for delicious
salads and desserts, all kinds of drinks,
and for a very friendly atmosphere.
We thank our scout leaders for
preparing the garden competitions.
We received so many positive comments
and thanks from so many people.
Finally, we thank Southwark Council
for providing us with the grant
allowing us to set up an installation
of the solar panels on the roof
of John Paul Centre.
This will allow us to start new initiatives
in our community in the near future.

Children’s Liturgy recommenced

Children’s Liturgy is celebrated
term-time Sundays at the 10.00 Mass
in the John Paul Centre.
The catechists invite children who are
the age of reception through to Year 3
and haven’t started their preparation
to First Holy Communion yet.
Younger children and those
with special educational needs
need to be assisted
by their parent or guardian.

Safeguarding importance

“Safeguarding is not the work of a few;
it is a shared responsibility.
Each of us — clergy, volunteers,
parents, parishioners — is called
to remain vigilant, informed,
and committed to the well-being
of every member of our community”.

Safeguarding Sunday, including
