IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE INTERNET AND THE TELEPHONE LINE TO THE OFFICE

Next week we may be without the internet as we have had some major issues with our current supplier – this has also meant that our telephone to the office is not working – we are hoping that this will all be sorted as soon as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

MESSAGE FROM FR PETER & FR ED

A sincere word of thanks to Fr Naz, your Council and the whole parish for inviting us and making us so welcome during our week of Mission. Our Masses and services were deeply prayerful and certainly on our part, memorable. It is wonderful for us to share in the life of such an active, engaged parish, where so many people play their part both in the spiritual and community aspects. There are too many individuals and families to name here, but again, a genuine word of thanks. We are grateful to Fr Naz for opening his home to us, for his fraternity and generous hospitality, and the trust he placed in us. We are deeply appreciative. May God continue to bless this community, here in Malvern, Upton and Blackmore — active signs of the presence of the Lord in this place. With blessings and every good wish, Fr Peter & Fr Ed.
