TAX RECLAIM FORMS FOR 2008
We again thank all the parishioners who returned their Tax Reclaim Forms for 2007 earlier this year. The tax reclaim has been made and received as already published.
These reclaims have to be made separately for each year and we recently sent out the forms for last year—i.e. the year ended December 31st 2008. We again appeal to anyone who got those forms or anyone who believes they are in that category to please return the CHY2 forms as soon as possible so that the relevant tax for 2008 can be reclaimed. We thank you for your co-operation in this scheme.

“You are precious in my sight”
(Isaiah 43.4)
DAY FOR LIFE
Life matters. It is a precious gift to be cherished. Our fulfilment and destiny come from a living relationship with Jesus Christ through faith, nourished by the sacraments and the support of the Church Community. ‘I have come to give you life to the full’ (John 10:10). He invites us to ask him for this Life. The message of the Gospel is that, whatever has happened to us, and whatever we have done, we can never be separated from the love of God in Jesus Christ. Pain, even tragedy—are never God’s last word.
