This week’s announcements
ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS: The sisters in our parish invite us to a double celebration of the 25th anniversary of the religious profession of Sr Henritta, and the 50th birthday of Sr Roseline. This will be on Saturday 9th May, at St Ann’s Church, Ashton. The celebration will begin with Holy Mass at 10am, with reception in the parish hall after Mass. Please note that there will be no Adoration/Confessions/Mass at St Christopher’s Church that day.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS: Congratulations to all May birthday celebrants.
DIVINE MERCY DEVOTION: will be held this Sunday at St Ann’s, starting with Adoration at 2.30pm.
VOCATIONS SUNDAY COLLECTION: A big thank you to all those who gave to the second collection last Sunday which was for the training of priests and deacons who serve the Church. In total the Parish raised £366.44. Thank you for your donations and please continue to pray for vocations.
GIFT AID: The Parish Office has currently been reviewing all Gift Aid records to ensure compliance with HMRC regulations and to ensure that all declarations remain accurate and valid. A letter has been sent earlier this week to all Parishioners with a Gift Aid declaration on file. Parishioners who wish the Parish to continue claiming Gift Aid on their donations are asked to complete and return the confirmation form attached to the letter to the Parish Office by 31 May 2026. Where there is no response, this will result in the cancellation of the current declaration. If you have not received a letter but do claim Gift Aid, please get in touch with Karol or Ann-Marie to discuss. Additional letters are available at both churches from the Fathers or at the Parish Office. For any questions please contact Karol at the Office, and we continue to thank all Parishioners for their generous donations and ongoing support of the Parish.
SACRAMENTAL PROGRAMME CATCH-UP: A reminder that we have a catch up session for the children that have missed any session on Saturday 9th May at 10am in the Town house at St Ann’s. It is really important that the sessions are caught up.
SUMMER FAIR PLANNING MEETING: There will be a planning meeting held for the Summer Fair on Monday the 11th May 2026 at 6pm in the Macnay Room at St Christopher’s Church. All are welcome to attend and support. We will also need people to help set up the stalls on Friday 10th July 2026 alongside to provide help on the stalls themselves. Please come and get involved.
WHIT WALK: The Ashton Catholic Women's Group, are holding their annual sponsored Whit Walk around Daisy Nook, on Sunday 14th June 2026. If you are able to join them, please collect a sponsorship form, after Mass, at the back of church from one of their members. This year's chosen charity is "The Friends of Tameside Young Carer's." There are over 500 young carers in Tameside, 100 of whom are 12 and under. The charity supports the young carers in their recreation, sport and leisure time activities. The meeting point is outside the cafe at the Daisy Nook Warden Car Park setting off at 1.30 pm.
