Support in Your Community
Many of our parishioners fall into High Risk Categories, if you know someone who may need help with shopping, picking up prescriptions or even just a phone call please contact Johanne or Michelle (phone numbers are on the Newsletter) and they will arrange this support.
We have now set up a group of volunteers from both St John Vianney and Our Lady of The Assumption who have been making calls to some of their parishioners. We will continue to do this over the next few weeks, if you know of anyone who would appreciate a call please contact Johanne or Michelle
“Your details will be used by volunteer parishioners authorised by Fr Sebastian to contact you only for so long as you wish us to do so.
Your information will be held securely on the basis of your consent by the parish and those parishioners who contact you in accordance with the diocesan privacy policy at https://www.birminghamdiocese.org.uk/privacy-policy.
If you wish us to stop contacting you, please let the person who phones you know. We will then remove your details from our records.”
