Sunday 28th June from 1-4pm
Tuesday 30th June from 12 Noon - 2pm
Thursday 2nd July from 12 Noon-2pm

Volunteers Needed to Prepare for Opening
Please be aware of the following before Volunteering - Volunteers should be well. Volunteers for welcome ministry should be over 18 years old. Volunteers for cleaning should be over 16 years old.
You should NOT volunteer if: you have any current symptoms of Covid-19 (Cough / Temp / Loss of Smell / Taste); you have a current condition requiring you to Shield from Covid-19;
If you are currently taking immunosuppressant medications; you have Diabetes, asthma /COPD or any chronic respiratory condition; you suffer from any chronic liver / kidney diseases; you are currently taking medication for heart disease, vascular disease, stroke prevention, you should consider whether it might be better to volunteer for one of the lower risk activities (e.g.sewing group or prayer ministry) until the present circumstances have subsided.

Many Thanks
Many thanks to all who have contacted Fr Jim to speak about how to give to the Church at this time. In the face of all that is going on, it is so appreciated that you are also thinking about your parish in this way. I am grateful to the generosity of so many who have begun standing orders, who have made electronic donations, sent a cheque or put their donations through our letterbox to ensure that we can maintain our commitments in the face of such a reduction in our weekly income. This is all the more amazing since I am very conscious of the anxiety being experienced by many about their own financial uncertainty. Each donation is very gratefully received.
Some people have asked if we can make the Standing Order form available on our website.You can find it by following the link below. Please post the completed form to Fr Jim at the parish house.
Please contact Fr. Jim at stcharles@rcdop.org.uk if you need our bank details to arrange donation through your own electronic banking. -
Sunday 5th July from 11.20am - All Welcome!
