Thank you to all who participate in the parish Lotto every week. 

Don't forget to pick up your Lotto envelope at the church!

​

All Lotto envelopes must be submitted by 6.00pm every Sunday night. All funds from the Lotto draw will be used to complete works on both St. Finian’s Church and Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church - including renewal of ceiling and floors, and waterproofing and painting of exterior walls.

​

Please note that all Lotto envelopes should be posted through the Donation box on the wall just inside the church door and not through the parish office letterbox. Thank you for your support. Best of luck to everyone who enters our draw.

LECTIO DIVINA GROUP

We invite you to join our Lectio Divina group - starting Thursday 6th February.

Lectio Divina or "divine reading," is an ancient practice of engaging deeply with God’s Word through meditation, prayer, and contemplation. It’s a beautiful, contemplative way of engaging with Scripture.
 

When:

Every Thursday 10:45am to 11:30am starting 6th February 2025
Every Thursday 7:30pm to 8:15pm starting 6th February 2025

 

Where: Our Lady’s Oratory, St. Finian’s Church, River Valley
 

Whether new to Lectio Divina or have practised it before, all are welcome to deepen their faith in a warm, supportive group setting.

NEW FAMILY OFFERINGS ENVELOPES will be ready for distribution soon. If you can help deliver boxes to households please get in touch with Steph at stfiniansparish@gmail.com All of the money that comes into the parish from these envelopes stays within the parish and helps towards the running and upkeep of our church. If you would like to change from your family offering envelope to a standing order please see Steph in the office.
