The Green Thumbed Five
Five of our parishioners volunteer as gardeners and they work all year round through fair weather and foul to ensure the grounds look pleasing to the eye, clean and well groomed. 

Seen in the above photo with Father Joy and Father Victor, are, from left to right...
…...Brendan, Bramley, Mick and Chris.  The missing one is Steve who took the photo.  

We have these 5 to thank for saving the church a great deal of money in gardeners' fees.  Thank you.
Affectionally known by some as our garden gnomes, please may they know their work is greatly appreciated.

Father Victor Vella and Meghan Dimbylow meet Pope Francis    

​See PDF  report on Cell members visit to Rome November 2019.... 

From 4pm on Thursday afternoon, 14th November, thousands of people came to the High Street to view the stalls and sample the foods and sweets etc traders had on sale and to ride on the fairground merry-go-rounds etc.
 Working alongside each other Churches Together members provided free painting books, pencils, knitted angels, crosses, sweets, candy cane etc, and similar items all with a Gospel message.  Some people came to the stall to see what was on offer and others were given items as they passed by the stall.  Free Gideon New Testaments were also given out.  Love comes in many guises.   May the recipients reflect on the messages given.

Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman began his Christian Ministry as an Anglican Minister.  His thirst for further knowledge led him to study the writings of the early Church Fathers, and it was these that led him to the Catholic Church, as he said “The Church Fathers made me Catholic.” 

On Thursday 10th October Father Victor and 32 parishioners set off for Oxford to follow in Saint John Henry Newman’s footsteps.  Prayers on our journey put us into thoughtful mode about the day ahead.

​Pope Francis canonised Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman in Rome on Sunday 13th October 2019.
