Altar Servers The arrival of Father David and the departure soon of two stalwart members of the team have prompted a review of the altar servers at Our Lady of Compassion. New arrangements are planned to ensure that all services will be adequately covered and provide continuity for the future. Please would all current servers who wish to remain on the rota see Tony Grossfield in the Sacristy after all Masses on the weekend of 19/20th May. If for any reason this will not be possible, please phone Tony on 01799 520848. Tony would also like to hear from anyone interested in joining the serving team (including adults). You must have made your First Communion and be willing to commit to a rota covering weekend Masses and possibly other services from time to time. |
