I RECEIVED A FOND FAREWELL  this past Thursday at the year 3 and 4 Class  Mass in our church. It was a lovely occasion and captured with a photograph taken by Madame de Lauriston. I have celebrated so many class Masses for and with the children of St Teresa’s School and it was lovely that the last one was such a special celebration. I am very grateful to the school chaplain Jean O’ Brien and for Deacon Brian Stoker for making it such a memorable occasion for me and for the children and parents who were present.

 

WINNERS OF   the Church Development Draw for January are, first prize to James Lane and second prize to Sylvia Flynn, well done to both of you.    

 

IN THE NARTHEX  there is now a small repository, it will be open after all the weekend Masses on the first weekend of each month. If you don’t find what you are looking for in the repository please ask Anne Harding or Val Stoker.

 

THE SEWING GROUP will meet again this Thursday at 10.30a.m. in the Club Room.  All are very welcome.
