orchard & sensory garden
We need YOU! With yo ur wellies, your spade, your fork, your trowel! We hope the ground will be dry enough for planting; even if it isn’t we will dig holes ready for the trees when the ground is drier, and we will work manure into the soil so it is all good and ready.
The trees will be tied to thick chestnut stakes, to preserve them while they mature.
The apple varieties are local and include “Braintree Seedling”, “Mountford”, “Eros”,
and “Westview Seedling.” They have all been sourced for us by the Essex Wildlife
Trust. The pear varieties include “English Conference” which were the ones that
grew here when Wickhay was all an orchard.
The sensory garden includes fabulous scented plants, and plants that will produce glorious colour.
Come and be part of it – don’t miss out! Any questions call Fr Dominic 01268 281732 any time from Wednesday onwards.

Finance Appeal – thank you
Thank you for the very positive response to the financial information shared at Masses last week. If you were away, a summary of the parish finances are on a pink sheet, available in each church.
Following the appeal, there was an increase in offertory income and more than twenty parishioners pledged to sign up to Gift Aid, with others becoming members of the 200 club.
We will continue to closely monitor parish finances, and we welcome any feedback on the information shared. This can be given verbally or in writing to Fr Dominic, Fr Brett, Sr Clare or your local PA, or emailed to the Chair of the Parish Council, Mary Catherine, on [email protected]
We know that for many families these are difficult times, and know that you will understand that our bills are rising too. Truly wonderful support is already given to the parish by so many people, not only financially but in hours and hours of voluntary time. There really would not be the vibrant range of parish activities, in well maintained premises, without both the finance and the volunteering. Thank you.
Fr Dominic, Fr Brett, Sr Clare, the whole Parish Council and the Parish PAs. ……………………………………………

Reconciliation in Lent. There will not be Reconciliation Services this year, as people have asked for more opportunities for the Sacrament, at the different churches.
So each Thursday night, there will be Sacred Space and Reconciliation. The
details of which church for which week are on page 9. At 7.00pm Fr Dominic or Fr Brett will introduce the hour with a short examination of conscience, and will then be available for Reconciliation through until 8.00pm. During this time the Blessed
Sacrament will be exposed. We hope this will give tranquility and peace, as well as six different opportunities for Reconciliation, in addition to those already offered at weekends.

CAFOD – our Parish Project for Lent 2013: a 10,000 Litre Water Tank. Last year your generosity meant a clean water supply for four villages; many lives transformed. This year the focus is hunger, around the campaign “IF …” – if only the resources in the world were fairly shared. There is more than enough food in the world; the issue is distributing it to the poorest people. So much of the campaign is about raising awareness about how our food reaches our plates; CAFOD speakers will talk about this at Masses this weekend (23/24 February).
Our parish project is to raise £800 to help pupils at a school in Kenya to buy and set up a 10,000 litre water tank. This will catch and store scarce water when it rains, so the plants can be irrigated when it is dry. This will mean the school children have food to eat throughout the year. As before, buckets will be in front of the altar each Sunday in Lent – your small change will help those who are “Hungry for Change.” ……………………………………………
MOFS (Ministry of Fun) cinema night. We are re-launching our group for children in schools years 4 & 5!
