Donations may be left outside the confessionals at the rear of St. Teilo’s next weekend, July 12th , and on the weekend of the Second Sunday of each month.

Seafarers and fishers play a vital role in all of our lives, but they often work in difficult, hazardous conditions. Sea Sunday is celebrated on Sunday, July 12th . It is when the Church prays for all those who live and work at sea. Your support will make a big difference to seafarers and fishers in need. You can donate in the collection next Sunday at all Masses or by visiting www.stellamaris.org.uk/donat e . This collection is vital to enable Stella Maris (formally the Apostleship of the Sea) to continue its important work, so please give generously. Thank you.
