ALTAR SERVERS
Please note that all Altar Servers need to be trained in the Guild of St Stephen before taking their
place on the Altar. A training session will be
arranged in September.
Would all those who have just made their 1st Communion in June (or would like to become
Altar Servers) please contact Ian Cowan or Brother Michael in order that a
training session(s) can be arranged to start in September. We only really need to have 4 people serving at each Mass, so rotas
may need to be introduced and also Albs need to be fitted.
If anybody has got an Alb at
home and no longer requires it can they please return it to Church. Thank you.
THANK YOU
Thanks have been received from the Missionary Society of St Columban for your support in their recent mission
appeal. They assure us that we will be remembered in their Masses and community prayers.

HELP NEEDED
Elizabeth
Kiwunga Rushamba and her
two small children who have been living in Darlington (worshiping at St.
Columba's off Clifton Road) for the past 18 months are currently in Yarl's Wood detention centre with a date of 7th August for
removal back to Uganda. Elizabeth fled
Uganda where she was raped and tortured due to her political
connections. She sought refuge as
an asylum seeker in the UK but her application was refused without the evidence
(corroborated by a wound expert) of rape and torture being taken into
account. There is currently a case for
judicial review pending (which will look specifically at how a decision could be taken without considering all relevant evidence
presented).
Please
contact Liam
Byrne MP, Minister for Borders and Immigration at: Home Office, 2 Marcham
Street, London W1P 4DF (quoting Elizabeth's Home Office Reference: R1147269) to request that he personally
review this case. Elizabeth is a genuine
asylum seeker who is seeking our support and a safe place to live. If you'd like
further information, please contact Cyndi.
