Father Behr writes:

We have two great social events planned for November.

Our Christmas fair is on Saturday November 15 from 11am to 3pm. There will stalls, refreshments and a special children’s corner.

Our 90 Anniversary celebrations are on Saturday 29 November with a Pot Luck Supper after the 6pm Mass.

November is the month of the Holy Souls.

We remember to pray for all the faithful departed in our families and in our parish.

There will be a coffee morning with Bible study after the 10am Mass on Tuesday 18 November.  

Lorraine will be running her Advent Wreath Workshop after the 10 am Mass on Sunday 30 November. Do come and make yours for the Advent season.

Sunday November 9th is Remembrance Sunday and there will be a

2-minute silence at the end of Mass.
