NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR VICTIMS/SURVIVORS OF ABUSE: The Pontifical
Commission for the Protection of Minors (PCPM) has highlighted the importance of prayer and
suggested to Pope Francis that the worldwide Catholic Church should join together in a day of

Wales, this day is marked every year on the Friday of the fifth week of Lent.

NEW GIFT AID ENVELOPES & STANDING ORDERS: We would like to ask current, and
any potential new gift aiders, if they would kindly consider setting up a standing order for their
contributions instead of using envelopes. The Archdiocese is gradually trying to cut down on
the use of envelopes as the standing order system is a more effective system and cuts down on a
huge amount of work. We would be grateful therefore if you could make this change. Please
contact the parish office if you need any assistance with this. Thank you for your support.
WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN UNION (WCU): WCU began 14 years ago. We meet every first
Thursday of the month from 10.00am – 12.00 noon in the Parish Hall. Our aim is to support one
another through faith and friendship. We are a lively friendly group and would love to invite
more ladies to come along and meet with us. All Christian women are welcome. Just come
and see. Thank you.
