We ask for your help to provide a Christmas present for the children who won’t see their mothers on Christmas day, but who will attend events organised by the prison during December and January. The Prison Advice and Care Trust (PACT) who run the Visitor’s Centre have asked used to provide UNWRAPPED GIFTS (£10 to £15) for children aged under 10s and UNWRAPPED Amazon vouchers for over 10s.

Please bring your UNWRAPPED gifts to the Vigil and Sunday Masses on 27th/28th November, 4th/5th and 11th/12th December and leave them in the marked collection boxes. Due to covid restrictions gifts CAN NOT be left at the Parish Office.
