Lent Charity

This Lent, we are going to support Sophie’s Choice. This is a charity where we ask you, if possible, to bring an item of food which we can send to the hospital for parents of terminally ill children, who must stay at the hospital. They are no longer fed by the hospital which is an expense that no parent should have to worry about at this time. Please see separate list of items they are able to have at the hospital as there is no cooking facilities.

Tuesday 10am St Albans followed by Mass

Thursday 10am All Saints Godshill followed by Mass.

Friday 7pm St Saviours.
