THIS WEEK
First Holy Communion We meet on Tuesday at 4.15 p.m. in the Webley Room. Remember to bring your books! Parents, please note that I do expect to see these children at Mass on Sundays.
Next Sunday will be the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B.
Summer Fayre This will take place on Saturday 9th June in Bourton-on-the-Water. Local events over the Diamond Jubilee weekend meant that we could not have our usual day. This is the Saturday in the half-term holiday week, so Bourton should be busy with visitors. Mark this date in your diary: I will soon ask for volunteers to take on the stalls.
