| We meet every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7pm in the Parish Centre. There are currently 11 full members and 1 auxiliary member.
As well as our Parish visiting programme, once a year we hold a Mass of Healing for anyone who wants to come, followed by refreshments in the Parish Centre. We support financially two SVP conferences in Kerala, India, have contributed towards the education of two orphans of the South Asian Tsunami and donated to other international projects run by the parent group. Locally we support the homeless in Leamington.
If you can give a few hours a week or a month to visiting, and would like to know more about what we do in the Parish, please contact the President or the secretary, or Richard Palmi (01926 511891) who is district president, for more details. |
