The next year is our 80th anniversary of the foundation of the parish beginning with the anniversary of the first mass back in Christmas 1934. There are 20 windows of various sizes down the sides of the church, including the gallery and the sanctuary and we are grateful for donations. Many thanks for all donations so far, and remember if you gift aid we get a further 20% for the parish. £1000 pays for the replacing of a window and decoration of that section of the church, so we need to raise £20,000 altogether. St Augustine’s Christmas Fayre This is now set for Saturday 22nd November, beginning at 11am. We really need people to get involved with the planning of this and to begin to look ahead into the next year and organise activities for our 80 th year.
