The new St Mary’s Focus hits the streets today, in what can only be described as the biggest publishing phenomenon since J K Rowling’s unpopular foray into adult entertainment – “Harry Potter and Hermione: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” 

Because Focus is delivered entirely by hand by volunteers (as well as being paid for, written, edited, published, printed and folded by the same hardy bunch) it might be some weeks before your copy floats serenely down from your letterbox to your door mat. I suspect most people will be able to wait though.

In the meantime, if you do see us out and about delivering, in between the showers which are making August so cheerful this year, do stop and say hello. You never know, if you’ve a problem we can sort out, it might make the next issue of Focus!
