Dear Friends,
The year 2020 has been one like no other. The whole COVID catastrophe has meant that we have had to rethink our Annual Fete so that it has become ‘A Fete like no other.’
Due to the health restrictions, we have to abandon the usual format and instead we are simply asking folk to see if they are able to make a contribution to the parish. It may be that you are able to offer a similar amount to what you usually give, or you may be one of the many who have been adversely affected and not be able to offer as much.
The parish will be setting aside November as ‘The Fete like no other’. If you are able, you can make a donation electronically, please use these details. NAB BSB: 083 -663 Account 51580-7866. Similarly you may post it through the parish office slot. For our records, it would be helpful if you could let us know that these are ‘Fete donations’.
We have written to our local businesses who usually support us for the Fete. We have let them know that we will not be seeking any donations this year and also expressing our gratitude for their help in the past. A list of these businesses is included with this letter / pew sheet. You may like to express your gratitude to them by supporting them.
In these difficult times if you or anyone you know need pastoral care, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Thank you for your understanding and support both to the parish and to me.
