Dear parishioners,
We are a group of 4 young people from the
parish of St Mary's who are happy to be part of the Leeds
Diocesan World Youth Day 2008 pilgrimage to Sydney Australia.
The pilgrimage promises to be a wonderful opportunity for us to
spend time with other young Catholics. The pilgrimage will be led
by Bishop Arthur Roche and will include approximately 100
pilgrims on a journey of faith.
Over the next 18 months as well as fundraising events we will
take part in spiritual and catechetical programmes to enable us
to prepare for the pilgrimage.
Fundraising. As part of the
Pilgrimage we will need to organise a variety of fundraising
activities in order to reach our target. We each have to raise
£2000 towards the cost of the pilgrimage and preparation
programme.
We need the support of our fellow
parishioners, we will be holding lots of events and would be
grateful for your support. If anyone has any unwanted gifts,
bottles of wine chocolates etc. we would appreciate them as
raffle prizes. If you can bake cakes or buns we can sell them in
the tea and coffee room after the 11 am mass on Sunday. Any
donations would be greatly appreciated. A list of events are on
the board at the back of church. Please keep us in your prayers.
Amy Roche, Lorna Hewitt, James Walsh, Kathleen Montgomery.
