Thank you to everyone who signed the petition to “Cancel Debt, Choose Hope” last weekend. It has been sent to CAFOD and will be added to others from Catholic parishes around the world and given to world leaders to encourage them to cancel unfair debts and implement fairer laws.

St Mary’s Church- Saturday 14th June . Bakers, sandwich makers, bunting creators and furniture moving partakers are all needed. The church will be open from 5pm – 6:30pm on Friday 13th and on Saturday 14th from 9am, for willing volunteers to drop off cakes, buns and biscuits, or to help set up and volunteer on the big day. This is a real community event, and it would be great to have volunteers from both St Marys and St Aelred’s parishes, to forge new friendships and support a great cause . If you are visiting Knaresborough for the Bed Race, please come along and enjoy fabulous refreshments between the parade and the race.
