Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Welcome to our parish blog. Please try and keep this sheet digital, but do print copies for those who may need them.

Below is a link to the service sheet for this Sunday:

Notices

Transport Assistance

If you are finding it difficult to get to church or to attend medical appointments, please contact the Parish Office in confidence. Thanks to a gift given in memory of Carol Fulcher, help with taxi fares may be available.

Communion Cards

From this weekend, small cards (see example pictured) will be available at both St Peter’s and All Saints’ to indicate if you require a gluten-free wafer or alcohol-free communion wine.

These cards are being introduced to support inclusivity, while also helping to maintain a quiet and reverent atmosphere during communion. By simply showing the card, those administering the bread and wine will understand your requirement without the need for conversation.

Cards can be collected from a sidesperson as you enter church, or during the offertory hymn, if required.

Please return the cards as you leave, so they can be reused.

We hope this will be a helpful and positive addition for all.

School Admissions - Church Attendance and SIF Forms

If you are planning to apply for a September 2027 school place (applications open in autumn 2026) at Becket Keys, Hutton All Saints, or any school which requires a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) to confirm church attendance, please email andy@huttonparish.com to inform Fr Andy.

Current attendance requirements are:

Becket Keys School - Fortnightly attendance for three years for September 2027 - Year 7 entry.

Hutton All Saints School - Regular monthly attendance over one year.

Parents and children are strongly encouraged to take an active part in the life of the church. Registering for Children’s Church is one of the simplest ways of helping attendance to be recorded. Participation in wider church activities and ensuring you are known to the clergy will also help make the signing of forms straightforward and avoid any difficulty or embarrassment.

Please note that online attendance does not count towards school admissions criteria.

Completed SIF forms should be delivered to the Parish Office for signature (open weekdays, 9.00am-2.00pm). You will be contacted once the form is ready for collection.
