At the recent Social Committee meeting, it became clear that we are struggling both to generate ideas for events and to find volunteers to run them. We have therefore decided to issue a questionnaire to find out what types of events would be of interest to parishioners. Forms will be available in the porch and the closing date for responses is 8 February. Please take the time to complete one, as this will help us understand the types of events and activities you would like to see included in our programme for 2026.

Thank you to Fr Rory, Deacon John and all of our parish community for all the help and support through this difficult time. Gerrard. Christina will be deeply missed and very much remembered for her kindness and her enjoyment that she received from our community. People very much enjoyed her company.
Our comedy night with writer and comedian Paul Kerensa was a great success. 60 guests attended this evening of laughter and festive song. A traditional afternoon of readings, carols, mince pies, mulled wine, and cultural Christmas traditions brought further warmth to the season. A great time was had by all.
