A message from Fr John

Posted on: 07/03/2021

Dear Friends

Good morning - prayers please for the teachers, staff and pupils at our schools as they tentatively return to school after the difficult mix of school, home schooling and zoom - a stressful time for all concerned.

I have attached the minutes of the Parish Forum meeting from last Thursday. Please read them and send any comments and reflections to myself or Maureen. It is important that we garner as much support as we can now, prior to our re-launch when the lockdown is lifted.

Thank you for your patient endurance and your prayers for each other. Our parish community has really pulled together in many different ways during these very difficult few months - a witness to the power of the Holy Spirit in our midst.

St Joseph, guardian of our parish, pray for us.

Every blessing

Fr John
