ONE YEAR ON: “Blessings and thanks to all members of the parish for their support, care and love. It is amazing how quickly a year has flown by since the Archbishop collated me to be your Rector. Join with me in praying that our God will continue to bless our community of faith as we step out into the future.” Fr Richard.

FLOWERS: Money has been received towards the cost of flowers from Jean Castle for her birthday.

PARISH BREAKFAST: There will be a fund-raising breakfast after each Mass today, at a price of R30 per person.

THANKS: The thanks of the parish go to those who gave of their time and materials to redecorate the toilet block in the Hall in the week past. Their efforts have not only tidied up an area that had become very scruffy, but also dealt with some much needed maintenance.

ROSTERS: The July to December rosters, for those doing sidesperson duties and those hosting the refreshments in the Hall after Mass, are available at the back of the church. There are separate rosters for the 8:00 am Mass and the Parish Mass.

ENTERTAINING ANGELS: For the next few weeks please could you bring tins of fish, baked beans, sweet corn or spaghetti for the basket. Thanks.

ENTERTAINING ANGELS: For the next few weeks please could you bring bags of lentils, split peas or barley for the basket. Thanks.

CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION: The Procession of Witness followed a new route this year, and raised a fair amount of interest from neighbours and those visiting cafes along Lower Main Road. We are particularly thankful to the Cape Town City Traffic section for the two patrol cars sent to accompany us. Some photos of the procession have been loaded onto the St Michael’s group page on Facebook.

ST MICHAEL’S INSTITUTE: The first course offered by the SMI was held last Saturday. There were 30 participants, spread across parishes and churches.
