St Augustine's Choir Concert
Webmaster • November 3, 2023
Saturday 11 th November at 7.30pm.
The choir will be performing some of our favourite pieces in a concert in memory of our dear friend, Christine Kay, who was a long-serving member of the choir. The concert will also include new items which we know Chris would have enjoyed too. The concert is free of charge and there will be a retiring collection from which a donation will be made to a charity chosen by Chris's family. This is our first concert since the pandemic and we are delighted to welcome new singers to their performance with us. Please do come along and support.
In 2025 St Augustine’s Parish raised £3326.53 through our Red Boxes and donations to Missio and the Mill Hill Missionaries. Thank You! Our missionary community here at St Augustines is part of a worldwide network of people supporting missionaries overseas through prayer and financial assistance. Communities around the world who are being supported by missionaries like the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, who feature on this years Red Box Thank You poster, rely on your support so they can continue to flourish. Visit missio.org.uk to find out more.
Maundy Thursday, 2nd April at 7.30pm. We need twelve volunteers (women & men) for this important ceremony. Please sign up on the list at the back of the church.
Wednesday, 29th April – Do this in memory of me - Children only in the Meeting Room 5.15 – 6.30pm. Sunday, 3rd May – 11.00am – Mass in the church [arrive in church by 10.45am].
These are available at the back of the church in alphabetical order by surname. If for any reason you no longer require envelopes [i.e. because you are now using the new Dona terminals and using the gift function] please hand them to me and they will be cancelled for next year. However, the boxes do have envelopes for the occasional special collections. Joining the scheme costs nothing as the parish simply claims back from the Inland Revenue the tax you pay on what you already give in the collection. If you would like to join the scheme please have a word with me after Mass.
Good Friday meet at the magistrates’ court at 9.30am and walk to the square for the service.

Phase one of the repairs has now been completed. The tenders have gone out for phase two and the same company has been retained to finish the job. It has taken a long time to reach this stage but we are in the hands of the loss adjustor and the insurance company and cannot interfere in the process.
