CHURCH CLEANING at St. Osmund Tuesday, November 18th at 10am.

BAPTISMS Please speak first to Father Heakin after Sunday Mass. Parents must attend mass before a date can be agreed for baptism. Baptism preparation meetings take place once a month on a Wednesday evening at 7pm. The next meeting will be on November 19th.

SERIOUS PROBLEM: For a long time there were no buildings next to the hall since they demolished the school. Then they built new houses and they are very close to the hall. The first time we played music there, they rang up and asked us to turn the volume down. This has happened again, so I don’t know what the answer is . The walls of the hall are thin – no insulation to deaden the sound.
