I’ll be in the Parish Centre
Senior Citizens’ Party
If anyone wishes to have a Mass Card
signed or to see me I will be available in
the Parish Centre after each of the weekend
Masses.
When guests had been contacted by phone
or visited, eventually 93 sat down to dine
and be entertained. Our Parish Youth did
themselves proud helping all afternoon.
The adults helpers, many of whom were
over 65, would have brought the totals to
well over 100.
Thank you to Tony and Ann Downes for
wonderful entertainment for the occasion;
thanks also to those who provided the
lovely varied refreshments, prepared the
room and buffet, served the refreshments,
manned the bar and provided transport.
