Sunday 6 AprilTHIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER After the 10 am Parish Mass we shall gather in the church hall for our Annual Parochial Church Meeting. Not all meetings are important, but this one is because it’s the occasion when we elect churchwardens and PCC members. We also receive the annual report and accounts and make ourselves aware of what’s been happening within our parish and church community. Please make sure that, if you’re 16 or over and regularly attend S. Francis, you are on the electoral roll, and then come and play your part at the meeting.
