Fr Rory Writes

With a very grateful heart, a great thanks to all who contribute so much to the life of our parish.  Our two churches look great with all the  work, care and attention including the decorations, they are second to none.  This has been a very difficult time, with an unavoidable sense of stress, so special thanks are in order for those who help so much.  Nothing easy, and with health issues, please God, we can look forward to a fresh new year (and because) this newsletter covers the New Year, best wishes for that. 

Many, many thanks for your cards, gifts and donations, I am truly grateful.  It is very important that we focus our attention upon the Feast that is celebrated, “A Saviour is Born” and though first celebrated over 2000 years ago it remains for each year and for each generation a great joy, especially in times of trials and afflictions, we have our saviours promise “these are the trials through which we now triumph by the power of Him who love us”. 

Deacon John and Tessa have asked to join with me as we offer you our Christmas Greetings and wishing you a Holy Happy and enjoyable Christmas, in the safety of your families.

Merry Christmas

And A Happy New Year
