Dear Parishioners,
At last, our Parish Feast Day arrives.
We begin at 12.00. There is much to enjoy in the sunshine or in the shade.
The raffle has evolved into a tombola because there are so many prizes and really good ones too, worth hundreds of pounds, so whether you are coming to the party or not, it is worth buying some tickets for the draw. They will be on sale after masses.
IF YOU ARE PARKING IN THE CLUB CARPARK BEHIND THE CHURCH, please put a note on the dashboard saying “Agreed with Clive”. Thanks.
Tickets for the party are still available too: £3 ADULTS, £1 CHILD,
Many thanks to the improvised planning team who have organised the event. Our Parish Events Committee has stood down. We must get that group up and running again. Would you be prepared to be part of it? If you might be interested, please have a word.
God Bless, Fr Doug
