DEACON DOUGLAS DENNY we have recently heard from Douglas’ daughter to say that he has moved to St David’s Nursing Home, Ascot Priory, Priory Road, Ascot, SL5 8RS. The family would like to thank everyone from the Parish who has visited him, and those who over the years have taken him Holy Communion. They hope very much that visiting can continue to keep him in touch with the Parish, but understand the distance might make that difficult.
SLOUGH FOODBANK Thank you to Our Lady of Peace Church, for your continued support and four donations of food throughout January this year.
