St Mary’s Christmas Market raffle tickets will be available early November. Christmas Market is on December 5th

Readers and Eucharistic Ministers (H) We don't have a rota for Readers or Eucharistic Ministers for mass at noon on Saturdays and sometimes the stewards have to find out who's around to help. If you'd like to read or are able to minister the Eucharist, please let the stewards know and we' ll try to set up a rota. Thank you

If there is anyone on the readers' or Eucharist Ministers' rota who is not part of the What's App group, please can you let us know by e-mail (stmary-sttm.cannock@rcaob.org.uk) or by texting 07362 418105. Please provide your name and mobile number so you can be added correctly. Equally, if there is anyone who is missing from the rota or needs to be removed, please let us know.

If anyone would like to join they would be most welcome, just pop up the choir loft.

There are four Catholic schools in our parishes, and from the new term, there will be mass for a group from each school once a month. As in the past, masses in St Joseph’s and at St Thomas More will be open to parishioners and will appear on the calendar of masses. St Mary’s school will continue to come to mass on Wednesdays. When there is a “public” mass in school, this will be the only mass that day.

Suggested times and locations: Thu 24 12pm (H); 4pm (C); 6:30pm (H); Fri 25 10am (C); All masses are of course open to all parishioners, and especially the 4pm Mass (Children, Families and Christmas Jumpers) and 6:30pm (Singers, Musicians – a parish choir and orchestra?); Sat 26 & Sun 27 usual weekend times.
