ST. MARY’S APF – MILL HILL MISSION
THANK YOU & APPEAL
This weekend we welcome Fr. Dermot Byrne MHM to our parish. Fr. Dermot will take the opportunity to thank the Parish for their support of prayers and donations to the 1069 World Missions. Please note that there will be NO cash collection, the thank you and appeal is to inform you of the work carried out by APF-Mill Hill and to ask for continuing prayers and financial support, which can be given through their ‘Red Boxes’.
