THANKS EVERYONE for
making Christmas at St Teresa’s such a happy one. Everything was done very
well; altar servers, choirs, readers, meet and greeters all take a bow. I was
not very conscious that it was my last Christmas here as your parish priest but
it is lovely for me to have such a good Christmas to remember – along with all
the others over the past thirty years. Thank you for the lovely Christmas cards
and presents and thank you too for the pile of money you gave me. You have
always been very generous to me both at Christmas and Easter and through your
Mass offerings. These make up the personal income for the priest and I am very
grateful to you. I remember in my previous parish a kind lady gave me quite a
large Mass offering and when I protested mildly that she had given me too much
she brushed my words aside saying that she was sure that I had many expenses to
meet. I thank God for the loving people of our parishes who support their
priests so well.
OUR LOVELY CRIB to be

done for many years. The Crib Offerings will be sent to help the Christians in

January) at 7.00pm to finish at 9.00pm. All in years 7 to 13 are welcome, if
