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.
 

26 May to 1 June 2026.  £995pp sharing or £1200pp in a single room, includes flights, one suitcase, half board, excursions and a travel representative.  If you are interested speak to Ilona 07904 680885 for more details or to sign up.

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.
 

Our pilgrimage to Lourdes is one of the most significant pastoral events in our annual diocesan calendar, with hundreds of members of our community of faith visiting the Grotto together each year.  Sandra and a few youths will be attending, lets give this our maximum support, so if you would like to join them, please apply or speak to Sandra for more information.  Applications for the 2026 Pilgrimage will open in   early 2026.
