Year: 2023

We now have enough money to cover the cost of two students from Prek Toal to go to school in Battambang for a year. This is fantastic news for the community there and thank you so much for your generosity.

Father John will celebrate his 80th Birthday on Friday and invites us to join him for a glass of fizz with the Teas and Coffees after 11.00 am Mass next Sunday. Mass on Friday itself will be at 10.00 am.

Last week we welcomed a group of pilgrims led by Jason Moore of the Ignite Lite team. The group was made up of people from all around the Diocese and beyond. They were walking from Cambridge to Walsingham in time for the Assumption.

Congratulations to The Reverend Paul Raynes on his Ordination as a Deacon of the Diocese of East Anglia yesterday. We pray for every blessing on Deacon Paul’s ministry in the years ahead both in our parish and across the Diocese, and on his wife, Sarah, and on all their family.

Fr Yakob in Prek Toal has contacted us asking for our immediate support, to help a family. The heavy rains are gathering pace in Cambodia and the water levels will rise. Fr Yakob visited a family recently and saw the poor conditions they were living in, the house is sinking! Urgent help is required to help them rebuild the floor and the roof, before it is lost to the impending heavy rains.

The amount required is $1,850 (just over £1,400), this would buy barrels, timber and tin sheets to fix.

We already have £600 to help, but please give whatever you can, Stella has put envelopes at the back of the church.

Thank you
