St Paul's RC Church, Cantley - Warm Space 24-25

Please view the Newsletter via the link below: w/c 19th July

The previous week's newsletter can be found here:

Our thanks to all who came regularly to Warm Space in the church hall and who enjoyed food and chat over the 5 months the project has run.

The response from parishioners and from the local community has been great and the lunch has undoubtedly proved very popular.

Many thanks to the generous team of volunteers who turned up every week to prepare, serve food and welcome all. Special thanks to the volunteers who made the nutritious soup and prepared the delicious cakes.

We will take a break from April but hope to open again in Autumn when we look forward to welcoming existing and new members to St Paul’s Warm Space community.

Parish Directory

We are creating a parish directory.
