ANNUAL APPEAL: 1st December: Caritas Hallam – provides a loving service to those within our communities for instance 10,000 hours of counselling was delivered last year which included supporting children and their families in 24 of our schools, 100 referrals for domestic abuse, 15 wellbeing courses, relationship counselling and family therapy across the whole of the Diocese. Caritas is self funded and has to fundraise in order to generate all its own income, which is why this Parish Annual Appeal is so important. Pope Benedict also wrote: As a community, the Church must practise love. Love thus needs to be organized if it is to be an ordered service to the community.
SERVICE OF LIGHT: You are invited to A SERVICE OF LIGHT - TO REMEMBER OUR LOVED ONES here at St Joseph’s Church, Dinnington on Tuesday 12th November at
7 00 pm.
MASS FOR THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING
A “signed” Mass has been arranged by Caritas at St Marie’s Cathedral Sheffield for Sunday Dec 15th at 3pm.

Prior to Covid, there was a well attended Mass for this group of people and we are hoping to schedule a number of such Masses throughout the Diocese.
All are invited.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
