Celebrating 60 years

in Eucharist

Sunday26 April

Bishop John Arnold, will join us and preside at the

11.00am Mass.I would like at that Mass

to have representatives of the various parish groups/organisations

to be represented in the entrance procession and will be writing to each group

representative during the next few days.

After the Celebration Mass I am proposing an informal “wine and cakes”

and invite you to bring along some (preferably home-baked) goodies for the

event which will be just outside the church door (along the hedgerow). I am of course presuming

on good weather!

This Mass will bring to a fitting conclusion a year of many events and celebrations,

acknowledging the rich life of our parish community over sixty years.

However, this is only so that we can look forward to

the next stage of our faith journey.So…

Stay with us Lord, on our journey.

at which Bishop John will preside.

The floral surroundings will be a lovely setting for the music.
