Parish News and Announcements  

We are so grateful to everyone who has helped our youth group get off to such a joyful start! Our young people have loved coming together—playing games, making crafts, sharing delicious food, and simply enjoying each other’s company.

As we step into the new year, we’re excited to keep building this welcoming space. We have planned some activities, but we’d also love to hear your ideas and suggestions. Together, we can make this a place where our youth feel at home, grow in friendship, and celebrate their faith.

Thank you to everyone who supported our Parish Christingle this afternoon. We had a lovely turn-out of children and their families. We watched a video about what each part of the Christingle represents before making our own. We moved to the body of the church where they were lit. The children then read some prayers to conclude the afternoon. Thank you to everyone who attended we look forward to seeing you next year.



 

The children took part in the Posada, a Mexican-style celebration that takesplace in the run-up to Christmas. They dressed as nativity characters, learnt the true meaning of a pinata, played games and ate delicious Mexican food (and hot dogs)
