The Shoe Box Appeal or operation Christmas child has been launched again.  It is the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind and uses gift-filled shoe boxes to show God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world.  Last year the English-speaking Community at St Alphonse collected 416 boxes – a huge challenge for this year.

You can help by packing a box, donating bulk items for boxes, ‘buying’ a packed box, donating money.  For further information please talk to the Shoe Box Team at the back of church at all weekend Masses throughout October.

Young people from the parish met with Fr Michel Remery, the archdiocesan youth representative, and Lisa Zasman from our community last Sunday.  The young people have lots of ideas for an exciting youth programme.  The first meeting will be Sunday 7 October after the 11.15 Mass.  All young people aged 11-18 are welcome as well as any adults interested in supporting the group.  More information will be available nearer the time.
