Public Facebook pages 
We have Facebook pages for three of our parishes. These are open public pages and you do not need to have a Facebook account to view these. Please have a look at them and recommend to your contacts:

Private Beacon Community Facebook page
For those with Facebook accounts, we also have the ‘Beacon Community Group’. This was set up as a discussion forum to build on the greater Mission Community awareness.
www.facebook.com/groups/424938598594105
The ‘Beacon Community Group’ group is Private, which means that only members can see, or write, posts on its page. Membership requests have to be approved by an administrator before you can read or post in the group. The group is ‘visible’ on Facebook, i.e. you can find it by searching for the name, but people won’t be able to go further than that without first being accepted as a member.
Catalogues of Kneelers
There are now catalogues of the kneelers in Ipplepen and Woodland. There is a copy in each church and they can also be viewed on line. Have a look!

Update on Safeguarding Training during this time
