Happy Christmas to everyone! The

generosity over Christmas. ALso a big
thank you and well done to all those
who helped to organise our services,
those who beautified the churches,
visited the sick, served the altar, sang
in choirs and those who helped in so
many other ways. It was a very very
blessed Christmas with almost 1200 at
the ten masses across the three
centres in the parish.
This weekend the second collection will
also be towards the parish building fund
