Some months ago we launched a Catholic, Single and Willing to Mingle group, which met a couple of times, but fizzled out as it was up to me to do the organising — and as you know this is not one of my chief strengths. However, interest in the group has been constant, and the group will re-launch this Sunday, 19th February, under new management. If you are interested, come along to the Parish Meeting Room in the garden/parking of St Alphonse after the 11:15 Mass (ie. 12:30). All welcome.

The report of the activities of the Monopol/Monoplus centres for refugees in Luxembourg has just been published, and makes interesting and inspiring reading. The level of involvement of many of our own parishioners, the wide range of activities engaged in, and the co-operation of different agencies is especially of note. The report can be found here:  2016reportformateneen.
