FOODBANK ADVENT REVERSE CALENDAR<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of our advent activities this year, can we think of those less fortunate than ourselves by putting one item aside every day during advent and bringing them to Church every Sunday into the basket at the end of the church, so that we can provide extra help for the foodbank (Kincorth Community Centre), and help those in our community who may not have anyone or anything to look forward to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CHRISTMAS FAMILY COMPETITION<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Families in the Parish are invited to design and build a Christmas Crib Scene. Cribs can be built out of any materials you can think of. Finished Cribs should be brought to Church for the Christmas Day Masses where they will be laid at the front of the Altar. There will be three main prizes. The Prize winners will be announced at Masses the following weekend.<\/p>\n
