Fr Colin
Please keep Father Colin in your prayers. He has been readmitted to Southampton Hospital Neuro Unit and faces further urgent surgery for blood on the brain.
Father Charles and Patricia Byrne had a most traumatic day on Tuesday, as Colin was taken poorly while they were kindly taking him for his convalescence at Hilfield Friary Dorchester.
May the Holy Spirit sustain and comfort all of us in these difficult times.
Thank you.
Richard.

Carbon Footprint Calculator
As part of the Eco Church award which we are working towards, St George’s is inviting you to use a Carbon footprint calculator to see what your impact is on the environment and to give suggestions to reduce it. These are a few we’ve found, you may like to use a different one. Do let us know how you get on! We don’t need to know the results, but we’d be delighted to hear from those who have engaged with this.
Many thanks in advance
The Eco Church Group.
This one is free, secure and gives results without the need to give your email address. Quite detailed info needed though.
https://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx
A nice, quick, easy calculator but it needs an email address to get the results and you effectively sign up for newsletters but can unsubscribe at any point.
https://footprint.wwf.org.uk/#/questionnaire
Secure, comprehensive, asks you for an email address if you want to but you get a summarised report anyway. Offers good ways to reduce your carbon footprint which are personalised to your answers. This is the best in our opinion!
