WE WELCOME Fr Donie O’Connor who is celebrating our Masses this weekend.
PARISH FINANCES Weekend 2nd July : Loose £781.75. Envelopes £355. Standing Orders £446. Total £1,582.75. The retiring collection for Peter’s Pence amounted to £473.60. Many thanks for your generosity. This weekend there will be a retiring collection for Apostleship of the Sea.
APOSTLESHIP OF THE SEA : SEA SUNDAY 🚢 Today is Sea Sunday, when the Church prays for all those who live and work at sea. Without them we would not have most of the items we buy in the shops. Today’s retiring collection is for Apostleship of the Sea (AoS), the Church’s official maritime welfare agency. It supports seafarers both practically and spiritually. This collection is vital to enable it to continue its work, so please give generously and remember seafarers in your prayers. Thank you. To donate online please visit www.apostleshipofthesea.org.uk

The Shelter involved 7 local Churches and over 250 volunteers from all local faith groups, it ended in April and had 49 people use the service. Working with Slough Council we have helped find accommodation for 25 and 11 have found employment.
Sadly some are still sleeping rough in the town, we continue to help those with a weekly soup run at St Mary’s in Slough and working in partnership with the Slough Homelessness forum. The Salvation Army in Slough provide a drop in service for the homeless every day between 10am and 1pm and a soup Kitchen on Thursday and Sunday evenings between 6:45pm and 8:30pm. The Salvation army are desperately short of volunteers and have appealed to us for help. Training will be provided so If you can spare some time please contact Lin Anderson on 01753 525819.
