Office Closures – Anniversary Requests:

The Parish office is closed from Friday 10^th July until Monday 20^th July.

Anniversary Requests: To ensure anniversary notices are included accurately and with care, all requests must now be submitted in writing through the parish office and can no longer be accepted in the sacristy before Mass.

Notices should be submitted at least 7 days before the anniversary date.

The parish office will be closed from Friday 10th July until Monday 20th July, and there will be no printed bulletin for 18th/19th July. The 11th/12th July bulletin will include anniversaries from Saturday 11th to Sunday 26th July.

Late anniversaries cannot be given to the sacristan or priest, and requests posted through the letterbox while the office is closed will not be processed until the next printed bulletin. Anniversaries will continue to be read out at daily Mass during July.

The office will begin accepting anniversary requests again from Monday 20th July for inclusion in the 25th/26th July bulletin.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
