Parish Action

Keeping in Contact

You may not be able to pick up a copy of the weekly paper newsletter but the latest information is regularly posted here on the parish website.   https://saintbenetsbeccles.org

We are sending a weekly  “E-Bulletin” to each home over the coming weeks.  If you don’t see one, please check your “SPAM” folder. and then make us a “Safe Sender”.

At this time it is particularly important to stay in contact with each other – so if you haven’t done so already, please give us your email address.

Just drop an email to our webmaster.

COVID-19/Coronavirus -Local Help & Support

We are conscious that as a result of the measures to contain the spread of the Coronavirus, some individuals, couples or families may

• be burdened by fears about jobs, finance or the wellbeing of loved ones;
• experience a sense of isolation in the coming weeks;
• need practical help;
• welcome spiritual support.

Do you need a Helping Hand?

As a community, the clergy and parishioners of St Benet’s are committed to helping others less fortunate than themselves

Between us, Father Martin, our Deacons Tony and Mike and a number of parish volunteers have a wide range of skills and experiences which could be of assistance.

It could be a matter of:

• providing an ear to listen to your concerns – in person or by phone;
• some practical help – perhaps with shopping, mail or prescriptions;
• arranging an interview with an appropriate professional;
• making contact with a distant relative;
• assistance with a pet animal;
• or anything else that is important to you.
