MUSICAL TREAT FOR THE WEEK
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udZCjXbwkzk
Locus iste – Here in this place – may be unfamiliar, but you’ll know it as soon as you here it.  VOCES8 give their usual very spiritual and oither-worldly rendition of this lovely piece by Anton Bruckner.
Ravishing!

WITH EVERY BLESSING FOR A HAPPY AND PEACEFUL WEEK FOR PARISHIONERS & FAMILIES


UNIVERSE CATHOLIC WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS

OFFERTORY DONATIONS
Many thanks to generous parishioners who have sent in donations to our churches. Your thoughtfulness is very much appreciated.
Instead of putting money in offertory envelopes each week, those who are able to make an offering are asked to complete a Standing Order Mandate for your bank, from either your parish office. We can email the document to you, if you wish, so that you can print off, complete and send to your bank.
Alternatively, you may still wish to write a  cheque (payable to ‘Our Lady Help of Christians Church’ ) and post to the presbytery with a covering letter and one offertory envelope for gift aid purposes.
Donating by text / online: Please check the May Newsletters and use the links provided.
