Dear Friends,
There has been a good response to the proposed trip to France in October with around 30 parishioners expressing an interest. I am hoping to be able to give some idea of the cost as soon as possible.
The diocese is planning to put in bids for new Catholic schools including two primary schools and a possible sixth form in Norwich. You will find more information in the porch of each of our churches.

May they rest in peace.
