Parish News and Announcements  

Refreshments at St Godric’s - This is an opportunity for us to get together, raise awareness of Fairtrade products, and to raise funds for charity.We are currently in need of more volunteers for our rota.. The commitment is every 4 weeks (although it’s very flexible) it entails setting up before Mass, and then to  remain for up to an hour after Mass, serving and washing up. It’s really good fun and gives new parishioners a chance to meet us. Please consider joining us.

 

Franciscan Seminar Series – 2026

To mark the 800th anniversary of the death of St Francis, the Franciscan Friars in Durham are pleased to offer a series of three seminars on Franciscan themes for the parishioners.

Each session will begin at 7:00pm and will last for approximately one hour.

All are warmly invited to attend.
