Clergy Support Fund Second Collection

Posted on by St Simon Stock Parish Office

Next week we will be holding the Clergy Support Fund second collection. The Clergy Support Fund enables the Archdiocese of Southwark to care for priests in their retirement, old age, and at their time of ill health, after their lifetime of service and devotion to Christ, His Church and His People. You will find Clergy Support Fund envelopes on the newsletter table.  A donation to this fund will ensure a dignified retirement for all of our priests. We kindly ask you to continue praying for our sick and elderly priests, and consider donating to this worthy fund.  Thank you.

If you have some time to spare to volunteer for these roles, or any of the other behind the scenes roles that help the parish function, please speak to Fr. Jose or sign up on the noticeboard.

The Southwark Agency for Evangelisation and Catechesis continues to look for ways to extend and enhance the provision for training and formation for catechists specifically and lay people in general. From Scripture to parenting workshops, to catechetical training and mentoring, there is something for everyone. This offering is free to everyone until 30th September 2025. Each parishioner, as well as teachers and parents in our schools, are invited to create their personal account to access the workshops.
