Feast of St. Louise de Marillac - On Saturday 13th March we will be celebrating the Feast of St Louise de Marillac, the founder, with St Vincent de Paul, of the Daughters of Charity. The 6.00 pm Mass will be a special Mass, celebrated by Fr Fergus, and will be followed by a reception in the hall where we will be serving Cake and Tea and Coffee, to which all parishioners are invited. Calling all bakers: We would be grateful to receive cakes to serve at this reception and know we can rely on the generosity of our bakers. Cakes can be brought to the hall from 5.00 pm on that Saturday evening. It is appropriate that this is also the weekend of the Clothing Collection for The Passage. Please be generous.

THE PASSAGE DAY CENTRE CLOTHING COLLECTION. On 13-14th March, young people from the Confirmation group will be collecting used clothing (particularly male clothing) and packets of disposable BIC razors for the Passage after each Mass on the weekend of the 13th-14th March in the hall. Tea and coffee will be provided — the proceeds of which will also go to the Passage. Please be generous and ruthless as you turn out your wardrobes — if you cannot remember when you last used a garment — you probably do not need it!

Venue: Our Lady of the Assumption &. St Gregory Church, Warwick St, W1B (2 min. Piccadilly Circus). All Young Adults welcome.
