​Welcome Rowland!​​​​

As of the 1st September we welcomed our new Intern Rowland Linder.

Rowland will be with us until July 2025 and will be working in the parish as part of the Diocese of London’s Young People’s Intern Scheme. As well as observing and taking part in parish life she will have a special focus on our work with young people.

During this period do welcome her and pray for her as she discerns what God has planned for her.

RNIB Stamp Appeal A big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far to our appeal for used postage stamps on behalf of the Royal National Institute for the Blind. Please continue to place stamps in the collection box at the back of church. 
The RNIB has asked if donors could observe specific conventions when giving stamps - these are detailed on the collection box and will significantly reduce the time and effort involved in sorting donations. Your cooperation will be much appreciated.

Weekday worship

Do you realise that prayer continues to be offered day by day in Saint Martin's? It is something, we as members of the church in Ruislip, should make every effort  to attend. It would be wonderful if more could join one of the daily opportunities to pray together. Wednesday evening Mass is one such time. We can hear the word of God, praise Him and receive the body of Christ. "From the Eucharist comes strength to live the Christian life and zeal to share that live with others."
