ST. ANNE’S HARVEST MASS TODAY
The ‘Climate Change Crisis’ has awakened us all to both the beauty and fragility of the whole of God’s gift of creation, so we celebrate it this year with a new awareness of our vocation to care for “our common home”. Thanks to all those who have donated fresh food, tins, bottles, packets etc and to Lesley and Iwona for creating today’s harvest display. We shall sell all the fresh produce straight after mass and donate the proceeds to the CAFOD Libyan Disaster Fund for which we will have a retiring collection this weekend.

Today is the WORLD DAY OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
The theme is ‘Free to choose whether to migrate or to stay’. For many today, migrating is their only choice. Everybody should be able to live their best life and to be able to feel safe and secure - whether in their home country or the place they come to call home. Sadly our common home is not a place of safety, peace and welcome for all.
The Holy Father in his message says: ‘Only by walking together will we be able to go far and reach the common goal of our journey.’

Grand Total raised for the Flower Festival £1,812.37Many thanks to everyone who helped, particularly to Mike who acted as Auctioneer with great humour and skill and some wonderful individual bids undoubtedly came as a result of his gentle cajoling. Thanks also to Bruce who dealt with the bids, to Angela and Aileen for doing the refreshments, to Rob for all the printing and to Fr Dennis for all the advance publicity. Last but not least, thanks to everyone who kindly donated an item to auction or who bid for one or more of the lots.
We shall have a truly wonderful Flower Festival. We shall display a full list of the lots, donors & money raised at the back of the church from this evening.
Best wishes, Margaret Robinson
