After Sunday Mass Coffee Morning

In normal circumstances, our Parish Centre welcomes parishioners and friends after the 9.30 am and 11.00 am Sunday Masses for tea/coffee and a catch up in the spirit of friendship and community.

Under Covid restrictions, these coffee mornings cannot operate, but we very much hope to restart them as soon as it is safe to do so. There is currently a vacancy for a lead volunteer to help co-ordinate. If you would like to offer help, please email parishcouncil@stalbanmacc.org.uk

Bargain Stall

Under normal circumstances, the Bargain Stall is open on Sundays in the Parish Centre after the 9:30am and 11:00am Masses. We hope to be able to re-open the Parish Centre as soon as it is safe to do so and with that there will be opportunities for some ethical retail therapy.

Recycle. Reuse. Reduce waste.
As example of our Live Simply Parish principles The bargain stall has a wide variety of reasonably priced interesting goods for sale. We are always pleased to accept items which you no longer need that can be sold to extend their usefulness. Proceeds go towards special projects in the Parish and in the wider community.

Please bring your items for the Bargain Stall to the Parish Centre or Presbytery.
