Spirituality in our Parish – update.
Following the very fruitful gatherings held during Lent, a planning/advisory group of nine parishioners plus Fr Pat has been formed and an inspiring programme of events and meetings is being developed.

This will be a series of four weekly meetings held on Mondays (commencing June 22nd) from 11-12.30 and repeated on Wednesdays (commencing June 24th) from 7-8.30 pm. More details will be available when Fr Pat returns but please register your interest before June 8th using the reply form (click here) and returning it by post or email to Su in the parish office or placing it in the Spirituality in our Parish box in the church porch.
