TWO PUBLICATIONS AND A FUNDRAISER - From Liam Harron

 I intend to get professionally printed a 24 page publication titled “Just Being” in memory of my sister Pat and in memory of Pastoral Renewal Exchange (the final edition, PRE 164, was published in May 2023). Printed copies should be ready by April. If anyone would like a printed copy, please let me know by phone or email (many parishioners have these). There will be no charge for the publication, but there will be an invitation to contribute to a fundraiser to help a young mother in Rotherham (who has talked at St Joseph’s and is known to many of us as T) achieve her dream to: 1 produce an initial publication of her writing; 2 create a brand that incorporates the artwork that helped her heal; 3 create an enterprise that helps others to heal through art; 4 succeed in buying her Council house. The fundraiser for T can be found here:
