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. (But there is an option to park your car, if you are visitor for up to 2 hours using pay by phone, please see the details on the Parking Eye notices).

What is happening and how we can help the people of Venezuela?:
The UN estimates that millions of people have been affected by the disaster. Thousands of people have been killed, and the death toll continues to rise. Many more people are still missing. Hospitals are under
extreme pressure as they treat large numbers of injured people.People in Venezuela were already struggling with basic needs and services, especially healthcare, before the earthquakes.Since the earthquakes struck last week, our partner, Caritas Venezuela has been supporting people
who have lost their homes and accompanying those affected by this tragedy with practical help and compassion.By joining with the DEC’s appeal today, we also reach the wider public in the UK to raise funds to respond to the growing needs in Venezuela in the days, weeks and months ahead.Thank you for keeping the people of Venezuela in your prayers and thank you for your ongoing support for CAFOD’s work
