GIFT AID The parish will shortly be submitting the annual claim for repayment of tax in respect of contributions made under the Gift Aid scheme. It is essential that parishioners, who donate through the weekly collection under a Gift Aid Declaration, let the parish know if they are no longer paying either income or capital gains tax at least equal to the amount of tax that the parish is about to claim for the tax year ending 5th April 2009. If you have donated a total of £100 during the year, the parish can claim £28.20 – provided you have paid at least £28.10 in tax. For each multiple of £100 you donate, the parish can claim that multiple of £28.20 and you must have paid at least that amount of tax. Please note that you must inform the parish if you change your address or if you cease to pay tax.. If you have any query, please contact Mike Tehan on 286059.

ALL WELCOME HOLY WEEK AND EASTER FOR THE CHILDREN Palm Sunday (5th April) The Children attending 9am Mass on Palm Sunday are asked to bring small leafy branches or banners to carry in the procession around the church. The banners could read, for example, ‘Hosanna’, ‘Hurrah for Jesus’, ‘We love you Jesus’ or something similar. Good Friday At 10.00a.m. at St. Felix, there will be Stations of the Cross especially for all the children. Parents are welcome to accompany them. Easter Sunday There will be an Easter Garden in the Lady Chapel at St. Felix for the children to look at. It would be nice if the children could bring small flowers to mass on Easter Sunday morning to decorate the Easter Garden. Children will read the Bidding prayers at the 9am Mass.
