The work of the Reaching Out Project would not be possible without the continued prayers, support and incredible generosity of the people of St. Teilo's with Our Lady of Lourdes. It would be good to be able to report that the level of need is reducing, sadly this is not the case and people are continuing to struggle to provide adequate food for their families. To ensure that this vital work continues, there will be a retiring collection at all Masses this weekend. You can also donate using a debit or credit card at the Electronic Donation Station at the back of St. Teilo’s or online at https://donate.mydona.com/stteilo-our-lady-of-lourdes . The Reaching Out Project enables us as a parish, through your help, to respond to the call from the late Pope Francis, to address poverty and inequality in our community.

St. Teilo’s Friends of Divine Mercy Prayer Group meets on Saturday, September 27th at 2.30pm in the Parish Hall. Everyone is welcome to come along to pray for the parish and the intentions of the parishioners.
