Your envelope can be put through the letter box in the Parish Office or the Parochial House or can be dropped into the collection box at the back of the Church (these are emptied daily).

A CORONAVIRUS PRAYER
Almighty and eternal God,
our refuge in every danger,
to whom we turn in our distress,
in faith we pray:
look with compassion on the afflicted,
grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners,
healing to the sick, peace to the dying,
strength to healthcare workers, wisdom to our leaders
and the courage to reach out to all in love,
so that together we may give glory to your holy name.
Amen.
