From the Provincial Treasurer: Fr Robin Jones SSC


Dear Brothers,

P+t

A goodly number of you have recently requested collection boxes be printed for the work of Mission Direct. It has been a long time since the Society has done this but we have decided to listen to you and give it a go.

These are available from myself the Treasurer - Fr Robin Jones - rdejones@me.com

If you would like some can you please contact me and I'll arrange them to be posted to you asap. Please do only request what you are likely to need (plus a very few more) as the boxes are not cheap to produce - we will always be happy to top up if needed. Please include the address to which they should be dispatched.

Whilst they may be perfect for Lent they are not specified for this so may be used at any point in your parish.

Thank you for considering supporting the work of Mission Direct.

Robin

Last Sunday the Bishop of Fulham, celebrating the Epiphany Mass at All Hallows’, Gospel Oak, announced the retirement of Prebendary David Houlding as Vicar of the Parish. At the end of July, he will reach the age of 'three score years and 10' and, therefore, retire on 25 July 2023.

His last Sunday in the Parish will be 23 July but there will also be a farewell celebration before that date (3 June) with an open invitation to SSC Brothers.

Requiescat in Provence!!
