CONGRATULATIONS TO DI AND HER TEAM for a splendid Harvest Supper on Friday. A good night was had by all, and the evening raised £150 for the funds. A BIG THANK YOU to Di. And we're looking forward to many more fundraising meals! Roll it on...

OK - LET'S TRY AND GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME !!! Bookings for Baptism (Christening), weddings, or banns of marriage can usually be made on Wednesdays in Church at 7.00pm. HOWEVER, no bookings can be taken on Wednesday 16 September or Wednesday 30 September. Normal service tonight and on Wednesday 23 September, and from Wednesday 7 October.

Thank you to all who brought food today at our Harvest Thanksgiving Mass for the work of the Little Brothers of the Good Shepherd. We have supported this work for a number of years, and it is a privilege to continue to help with it.
Throughout the year we continue to collect food for our 'metre of tins'; when each meter cube is finished, we take the tins to the Little Brothers, and then start another metre...
If you want to drop in with any tins to help this work, call in on a Saturday morning around the time of Mass (which usually begins at 10.00am), or drop them in any Sunday morning.

This episode is really now closed. I am horrified to hear that folk are threatening other people. This is neither helpful nor right. Last night I removed the posts concerning recent events, and I hope others will do the same. Matters have been resolved by all parties, and comments should not be made which intimidate or threaten.

please join us this Sunday 21st June 2015 at 4pm for Father Gary Hartill's ordination to the priesthood. Gary is born and bred in friarpark and will be providing the local community and congregation support alongside Father Ron. This is a celebration not only for the church but the local community so please come along and show your support. please remember there is no morning mass look forward to seeing you there.

please join up for our Annual Summer fayre this coming Saturday bring your friends and have a look around the church.. Name the Teddy, Fresh baked cakes, jewellery stall, Tombola, Books stall, Pop the Balloons, Raffles, Hot Bacon Baps hot and cold drinks , Crafts Gift Stall plus much more.

MEMORIAL SERVICES Every three months or so, we hold a Memorial Service here at Saint Francis' to remember those whose funerals have taken place in that period.
The Christian hope is that far from being a 'dead end' death is but a gateway to the nearer presence of the God who sent his Son Jesus to share our life and death to redeem us, that Heaven's gates might be thrown wide to receive his faithful people.
... Pray that the departed may know light and peace in our Father's presence, and that those who mourn their loss may know consolation and hope.
The next Memorial Service here at Saint Francis' will be held on Sunday 15 November at 9.45am, our Annual Memorial Mass commemorating all those who have died October 2014 to October 2015

A Recent Change to Church of England Marriage Regulations We now have to see evidence of British or EEA (or Swiss) nationality before we can book weddings. We would ask everyone who wishes to book their marriage here to bring with them their passport, or a valid EEA identity card, or their birth certificate. However, if a birth certificate is the only form of identification, you will also need to bring a recent utility bill, bank statement, or driving licence to provide evide...nce of your use of the name on the birth certificate (or provide evidence of change of name). If one or both parties to a marriage is a non-British/EEA national, then a Superintendent Registrar's License will have to be obtained,and you will need to go first to the Register Office; there is a 28 day 'waiting period'between giving notice to the superintendent registrar and the issue of the license. You will need to satisfy the registrar of your freedom to marry in this country (this may involve documents from the home state) andaprovide any other certification that s/he requires (so this process may well take some time). Bookings for weddings, banns of marriage, and baptisms (christenings) can be made on Wednesday evenings at 7.00pm in church
