Parish News and Announcements
The Capuchin Friars warmly invite all parishioners to the celebration of the Transitus of St Francis of Assisi on Saturday 3rd October at 7.00 pm at St. Godric’s Church. This year will mark the 800th Anniversary of the Passing of St Francis.
At 7pm on Saturday 3rd October, we will celebrate the Transitus in St Godric's Church. The Transitus is an extended form of Evening Prayer that begins the Feast of St Francis and commemorates his death. This year it will be the 800th anniversary of his death.
All are welcome, and there will be festive refreshments afterwards.
We are so thrilled to announce that on the 6th of November, the Parish of the Durham Martyrs will begin it's 3 month trial of a brand new baby bank.
We will be supporting families in the local community via professional referrals only. As a very small voluntary group running within the parish, our area of reach at the moment will be small, but if we can help any families in our local area, then that is a great start. Caring for children in this current climate is so expensive!
During the trial run, we'll make a full evaluation of the initiative and make decisions on how it moves forward.
We're currently taking referrals from our 3 parish primary schools and Laurel Avenue Community Primary School.
If you have any questions, please contact Leanne Taylor, Cynthia Dunn or Belinda Thomas, or reach out to us via email at babybankdurhammartyrs@gmail.com
