BISHOP JOHN sends his thanks and assurances of prayers to all who made the pastoral visit such an uplifting and memorable occasion last weekend. He was touched by your prayerfulness, participation and welcome. St Fillan’s church, liturgy, garden and its shrine were all beautifully prepared, looking at their very best. Even the sun shone. Thanks to one and all.
CONGRATULATIONS to the boys and girls who made their First Holy Communion on Saturday, the feast of Our Lady of Fatima. Thanks again, to all those who, often in the background, give generously of their time and talents. Deo gratias.
