FIRST HOLY COMMUNION - Sunday 13th June 2010

We enjoyed a wonderful First Holy Communion service on Sunday 13th June.  Our thanks to all those who made it so special - Nicola Williams who ran the programme so efficiently, and her catechists Nina Brenninkmeijer, Caroline Andrews and Aileen Madden.  Also thanks to the choir, the sacristans, the ushers, the welcomers, flower ladies, car park attendants and all other parent volunteers from this year and last year.  All 22 children returned the following week in their beautiful attire to receive candles and enjoy a celebratory cake.



ST PATRICK'S DAY LUNCH - 17th March 2010

Some photos from our recent St Patrick's Day Lunch.  Much of our Irish contingent attended this special lunch.  The menu of Irish Stew and other delights were well received - thank you once again to Sue Lown and her team.  Thank you also to Iwona for leading the singsong of many of the Irish songs!

 

 

 

 

 








CHOIR CURRY NIGHT - 26th February 2010
 

The Church choir recently got together for an evening of song and oriental flavour in the Parish Rooms.  Our choir, which sings at the 9.30am Sunday Mass is now exceeding 50 in members and we are so lucky to worship with them on a Sunday morning.  Iwona, its leader is pictured with them above leading a chorus of "Halleluia"!

PANCAKE DAY  - 16th February 2010

Shrove Tuesday was conveniently during half term this year so parishioners of all ages gathered after Mass to enjoy pancakes cooked by Jan Woolhead (pictured below) to celebrate the end of "Carnivales". Jan did a great job tossing the pancakes - apart from the one which landed on the handle!

 

 

 











FAMILY CAROL SERVICE - Sunday 20th December 2009
Our children did extremely well putting on a beautiful version of the Christmas nativity and accompanists on various instruments.

Thanks to Nicola and Iwona and their team of parent helpers for their hard work in bringing it together.
 

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION - Sunday 14th June 2009
This year we had 36 children receiving their First Holy Communion.  We held two services, which were beautifully stages.  Our thanks to the Choir, the Flower team, the Catechists, Welcomers, Servers, Sacristans and all other volunteers who made the day so special for all the families.



 



 


PARISH RACE NIGHT - Saturday 16th May 2009
A great night was had by all at the recent Parish Race Night.  The horses performed well, the food was delicious and a few pounds were raised for charity. Many thanks to Sue Lown for her catering and to all the Social Committee for putting on such an enjoyable evening.  Also to Patrick, our MC for the evening.
