12th October 2025 - Thought from Fr. Colm

We continue our Partnership journey next Thursday evening in St. Leonard’s (see the note in the bulletin). The Finchale Partnership includes Durham City and the outlying parishes. Do join us.

I hope you like the windows. They are timely, as we reflect more on the glory of God’s creation. I’m expecting that our energy bills will be reduced.

Thanks to our Parish SVP conference for a lovely lunch on Tuesday. The spirit was great. Fish and chips, with mushy peas for the purists, and for those brave souls with a taste for all things sweet and with a total disregard for the waistline, there was the triple layered multicoloured ice cream consumed with unapologetic delight by the few, as the majority looked on with envy.

It was all great fun and enjoyed by all .
