are: pasta and curry sauces, sponge puddings, long life fruit juices, long life milk, rice 500g or 1kg.
They have more than enough to meet their needs of all types of pasta, tins of baked beans,
breakfast cereals, please do not include them in your donation at the present time.
LANDINGS The Landings programme gives Catholics who have been away from the Church a
chance to explore their faith and to consider their future with the Church. A few parishioners
welcome potential returners in lay-led meetings that are gentle, entirely confidential, and
enriching for all who take part. A Landings workshop at St. Teresas Beaconsfield is planned for
early in the New Year (date to be fixed) to enable all who may be interested to find out more,
both those thinking of renewing connections with parish life and those who might like to act as
welcomers in their own parishes. New recruits are always welcome but you will not be asked for
any definite commitment. For more information contact Maggie Millrain or Ian Johnson on 01753
482496 or via maggiemillraain@icloud.com. The following website is well worth a visit...
