Happy Christmas everyone!

Our thanks to all the community groups and families who contributed a tree to the Christmas tree festival - it really is wonderful to see the church full of these beautiful creations. Over £700 was raised towards church funds, through donations, and sales of cakes, raffle tickets and teas and coffees.

It was great to see so many visitors coming in, and also to have such a full house for the crib service, and midnight mass.

Here are some photos from the 2015 Christmas Tree Festival, which took place on December 5th and 6th.
