| CHOIR Our choir is small, and would love to have some new members. If you can sing in tune, why not give it a try? It is not necessary to be a Catholic. |
Debbie Fernando |
| CATHOLIC WOMENS' LEAGUE It would be ideal if all the ladies of the parish belonged to this vital Catholic organisation. Come and make good friends whilst assisting with their essential work. |
Maureen Crossinggum |
| CHILDREN'S LITURGY The children's liturgy team always welcomes volunteers to lead or assist. Please note that over 18s must be prepared to undergo Criminal Record Bureau checks. |

| CHURCH CLEANING The number of people currently performing the very necessary tasks of cleaning and polishing our church, on a rota basis, is very small. A larger team would make the job easier. |
Bernadette Sawyer |
| TEA/COFFEE ROTA There are 12 ladies and gents on the rota at present. An easy and friendly job to do after 10.30 Mass each Sunday in our Parish Room, or just join us for tea or coffee. |
John Miles |
| FLOWER ARRANGERS We only have 5 arrangers at present. It would be lovely to welcome more to the team. Anyone can learn to arrange flowers. |

| FRIENDS OF ST. MICHAELS A universal fund-raiser with a chance to win something. Costing just £15 per share per year, with a draw roughly every 6 weeks, we are able to raise significant sums for the Parish. 50% of the income makes up the prizes, the other half going to the parish. Join the scheme at any time. |
Sue Mather |
| GIFT AID SCHEME If you pay income tax at any rate, the Parish is able to reclaim it at that rate from the Inland Revenue. You will be issued with envelopes in which to make your contributions to the parish. This has added four figure sums to our parish funds for the past several years. This makes 'rendering unto Ceasar' a little less painful! Contact Rodney or Father Paul. |
