This is an international brotherhood of practising Catholic laymen who meet socially, at least once a month. The Circle enables its members to provide each other – and their families – with mutual support, based on the shared values of their Catholic belief and practice. Many social events, including an annual lunch which will follow today’s mass, are also open to members’ wives and families. To find out more, please speak to one of the many East Grinstead Catenians who will be at the 10.30 mass, call Bill Blackledge on 01342 317599 or visit http://www.egcats.co.uk/

Being Catholic he is eager to try and trace this crucifix and return it to its owner or original place. On the rear of the Crucifix, it bears an inscription;- “To the memory of FRANK HOLDER of Brighton 1882-1967 and EDITH GERTRUDE WHITE of East Grinstead 1887-1972”.

In addition to explaining what they are doing this year, they are requesting that parents (and past parents!) help to contribute to the cost of school projects. By law, we as parents and catholic community, have to find 10% of all school project costs. Please consider paying what you can to support the much needed school improvements that will support our goal of becoming an ‘Outstanding’ school at the next OFSTED inspection. The Governors are also holding an informal coffee drop in at the school hall from 09:20 to 10:00 on Thursday 7th July at the school. Come with your ideas and suggestion and just to meet us!
