Thanks
A sincere thanks to all those who helped to make the Church so special for Christmas in so many different ways. The church was gleaming, the crib and tree looked fantastic, the decorations elegant and the flowers beautiful. Thanks to choirs, stewards, ministers of the Word & Eucharist, sacristans and all readers along with so many others.
It was lovely to see so many people attend the 11.30pm Mass on New Year’s Eve. It was a very special way to ring in the New Year – in the presence of the Eucharist.
