Thank you to the children of St Teresa's Primary Faith Team who visited the parish after Mass on Thursday during Loneliness Aware Week. They hosted a lovely tea, showcased their talents in playing musical instruments and singing, and shared the work in their RE books. We hope this becomes a regular monthly event, fostering an intergenerational celebration between school and parish.
We send our heartfelt thanks to all the catechists who have dedicated their time, energy, and faith to guiding our children through the First Holy Communion and Confirmation programmes. Your commitment and passion for nurturing the spiritual growth of our young parishioners have been truly inspiring. Through your patience, wisdom, and unwavering support, you have played a crucial role, in addition to the family themselves, in preparing these children and young adults for these significant sacraments. Your efforts have helped to build a strong foundation of faith that will support them throughout their lives. Your dedication has made a profound difference in the lives of our children and our parish family. THANK YOU. Rex Cortes and Rob Mobile rode the Ford Ride London (103 mile) cycle for Rays of Sunshine on the 26th May, in Memory of Joseph Lunn. As part of a team of 5 the riders raised over £5000. Thank you to all parishioners who donated, you have helped children and young people to make lasting memories with their families, in time of great need. If you still want to give the page is still live, please give what you can.
