Parish Lottery

The Parish Lottery restarts at the beginning of June, so now is the time to enter for the coming 12 months. The cost is £12 a year and this gives the chance to win one of four prizes each month - 1st £30, 2nd £15, 3rd £10 and 4th £10. To renew your entry please collect your named envelope from the Porch. If you are new to the Lottery, please pick up one of the unnamed envelopes for New Members, which contain instructions about how to enter.

In 2011/2012 the Lottery raised £528 for the Parish, please consider entering again this year. The more entries we have, the more money we raise. Envelopes, with payment, need to be returned by 27th May to be included in the June Draw. Please put them in the offertory collection basket or post through the Presbytery door.

If you have any questions about how the Lottery works, I will be outside at the end of each Mass this weekend or you can call me on SW 599578.

Thank you. Kelly Cole
