Car park System Our Welshpool Church car park is now looked after by a firm called Parking Eye, with Automated Number Plate Recognition system (ANPR). Visitors and those parishioners who have not registered please enter their correct Car Registration Number in to the display terminal in the Church porch. Parishioners who would like to register their car permanently, can get the form from the Parish office, fill the details and handover to the parish priest please. If you are not registered, you will automatically be issued with a £100 fine by Parking Eye.

Please sponsor Tim O’Brien for the Big Lent Walk! This Lent, I’ve
decided to participate in The Big Lent Walk for CAFOD, walking 200km
over 40 days in solidarity with those who walk miles each day just to
access safe water. Part of my walking will be done on the Thames Path,
where I aim to walk the first stage from the Source
of the Thames near Cirencester to the Franciscan friary in Oxford. This will be a small pilgrimage as part of my celebration of the 800th anniversary of the death of St Francis of Assisi. (I am a brother in the Secular Franciscan Order.) Any sponsorship you can
manage will help poorer and less developed communities around the world. This Lenten challenge is really important to me, and your support would mean so much. I know that
many of you have been really helpful and generous in the past and I hesitate to ask again. However, I guess it might give you a concrete way of doing almsgiving yourself with a bit of a focus. (Plus I get a free beanie hat if I get £200!!) So, please will you support my walk? The best way is
by using the link below to my Just Giving page where you can donate
online. This also allows you to Gift Aid donations increasing their worth.
