Charity Tea Party - Saturday 14 September 2019:
For this year’s charity Tea Party in St Matthew’s; Our chosen charity is North West Air Ambulance.
North West Air Ambulance Charity takes advanced healthcare to scene; reaching, treating and transferring patients to definitive care as quickly as possible and working collaboratively with their partners to ensure they are transferred to the best treatment centre thus improving chances of survival and reducing the risk of long term injury.
Just as many critically injured patients would not survive without the service, your North West Air Ambulance Charity would not be here without you. The service is funded by the generosity of the public through donations, fundraising activity, lottery membership and through our network of retail outlets, who provide vital charitable funding to keep our service flying.

International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition -
23rd August:
International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition, August 23 of each year, the day designated by UNESCO to memorialize the transatlantic slave trade.
The date is not just an invitation to remember the transatlantic slave trade, but to learn lessons and combat modern day slavery; Theresa May has just unveiled a crackdown on modern-day slavery and vowed fresh action to eradicate the evil trade from the UK. She announced plans for a taskforce at the heart of Government to combat people trafficking.

St. Maximilian Kolbe - 14th August:
In 1941 Kolbe was arrested by the Nazis and imprisoned in Auschwitz. He will be forever remembered for the heroic and selfless act of changing places with a prisoner who had been condemned to death.
Father Kolbe’s death was not a sudden, last-minute act of heroism. His whole life had been a preparation. His holiness was a limitless, passionate desire to convert the whole world to God and his beloved Immaculata was his inspiration.
Thank you – CAFOD:
The following is an excerpt of a letter received by Fr Conor:
Thank you to all parishioners at St Matthew’s for your generous support for CAFOD this year and for your latest donation of £211.40 which we received on 4 July 2019. Your donation can support people like Cynthia Ntala, who is the Chair of a CAFOD funded vegetable garden in Zimbabwe. Yours sincerely Chris Funnell, Head of Supporter Donations
Paul’s Place:
Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for us recently with Ecclesiastical Giving. Unfortunately, we weren’t one of the chosen charities to receive a £1000 donation. However, all is not lost; as we have received the fantastic news that we have been awarded almost £338,000 lottery funding for a three year period! This means that we will be able to offer support and help to many more people bereaved by suicide. Thank you for your continued support. Agnes & Joe Williams xx
