Season II - how does it work?
A new episode will be released right on the Diocese webpage (see below link) each Monday throughout the Easter Season - beginning on 18 April. Each episode will include great speakers, wonderful testimony, and engaging opportunities for prayer and reflection.
We recommend you dig out the journal you were using last year (or treat yourself to a new one if this is your first season) as there will be questions for you to think, and write, about. Your journal responses will be really helpful for the follow up conversations taking place later in the week.

CONTACTLESS COLLECTIONS
With the absence of banks in the village, and COVID handling of money - we have joined the Diocese with the contactless donation system called DONA.
There is a stand in the porch of Our Lady of Lourdes Church to receive contactless payments. Please use the hand sanitiser before using.
You can select the amount you wish to donate and simply tap your card for contactless giving.
If you are able to gift aid - this will take a couple of minutes initially to encode your details (easy to follow prompts) and only has to be set up the once. You are also able to now donate via this link. Thank you very much.
