Stewards for Mass
The work of the stewards before, during and after Mass is vital in the current circumstances of the pandemic – thank you to all those who have helped since early July!
However some of them are not able to continue and it is now important, having exhausted the reserved list, that more volunteers come forward to help on weekdays.
Please contact Fr. Michael, the Parish Office or Kate Freeman if you can help.
