CCTV CAMERAS IN OUR CHURCH/PRESBYTERY CCTV Cameras have been mounted at different strategic locations in our Church (St Osmunds) and the Presbytery for security purpose.

WEEKLY POSTING OF OUR SUNDAY HOMILIES – Our Sunday homilies are well recorded and posted to our Parish website and Facebook page, even before the Sunday masses. Those who are still finding it a bit difficult to hear Fr Emmanuel properly should always listen to his homily clearly in the Parish website or Facebook page.

GIFT AID ENVELOPES –  We have no form completed for the Gift Aid envelopes no 6 and no 72. Those who have these numbers should please pick a Gift Aid envelope form from the back of the churches and complete them, so that we can be making our claims from them.
