16th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Fr Ross: Thank You
Fr. Ross wishes to say special thanks to Shirley Robertson for making all the arrangements with the priests who said the Masses, and for keeping the Service of Holy Communion going mid-week whilst he was away.
He also wishes to thank all those who have sent him cards, gifts and messages during his recent spell in hospital. Special thanks to those who remembered that it was his Ruby Wedding Anniversary while he was lying in hospital on a drip! He and Jill were especially thrilled with the Ruby Rose given to them by the Ladies Group. Thank you all very much.
Summer Fair
A BIG THANK YOU to all who made the Summer Fair such a success. It was a lovely social occasion for the Parish and community. Thanks to all stallholders, those who donated prizes, made donations, baked and all who helped in any way. We made only slightly less than last year - £1,103, so it was an excellent result.
Please see list of Raffle Prize winners on the Notice Board. All prize winners have been notified, and prizes still to be collected are in the Sacristy.
