A family in the parish have a female kitten, weaned and house-trained, and are looking for a good home for her. The rest of the litter have been placed, and this one remains. I’m told she’s very cute and playful!
For more information, call Sonya Heffernan on 691 831 491, or send an email.

We’re early off the mark this year with our shoebox appeal — each year we send shoeboxes containing useful items to children in countries less well-off than our own. Last year our community sent 165 boxes, and this year we hope to add 100 to that amount!
There are a number of ways in which you can contribute to this worthy cause:
To facilitate the purchase of items for boxes, there will be a sale after Mass on two weekends in October: 10th/11th & 17th/18th.
You can find more detailed information here:

Prohibited goods for shoeboxes
More about this project in the coming weeks.
And if you need even more information, contact me!

A few weeks ago I appealed for a double bed for a family in need, and happily a member of our community has generously responded. There now follows another appeal! I need to transport the bed from Luxembourg city to Esch-sur-Alzette, and am either looking for someone to do this, or a van big enough and insured enough for me to transport the bed.
If you can help, or can put me in touch with someone, I’d be very grateful.
UPDATE: Bed now with the family in need. Many thanks.

MARRIAGE PREPARATION
Couples wishing to celebrate their marriage in the Catholic church in the coming year are invited to take part in our Marriage Preparation Course. The next course is on Saturday 5th September 10:00 – 16:00 in the meeting room at St Alphonse. Please email me to enrol, or to obtain more information. The course is being presented by Caroline and Kit Dollard, who work for Ampleforth Abbey and for the Diocese of Middlesbrough in the UK.
A preparation course is a necessary part of the process for a church wedding here in Luxembourg as throughout the Church. Courses aim to be insightful, informative and helpful — even for couples who have been together for years.
Thanks,
Fr Ed
