Help is needed tp serve Tea & Coffee after Mass on Sundays. A number of our volunteers have had to step down due to health or age and we are looking for some mew volunteers to spread the load. You would be required to set up mugs and turn the urn on before mass. Serve tea & Coffee after Mass for approx 30 mins and wash up.
Even if you can only do one or two sundays a year this would help. Please add your name to the list on the serving hatch. It would be a shame not to be able to offer this chance for us to chat after Mass
