OUR CHURCH
Many visitors to our church comment on
how beautiful it looks.
We must say thanks to Angela for the floral decorations and to volunteers John, Evelyn, Ann Marie, Sandy, Robin and Jose who clean it on Wednesday mornings.
A special word of gratitude to Jose Castro who has polished every piece of furniture in
the church and sacristy,
and to Terry Keppler for polishing the floor.
AVE MARIA
If you attended the 11.30am Mass last Sunday, you will have heard a moving rendition of Schubert’s Ave Maria by Eliza Brown. Eliza is one of our altar servers and a pupil of St Richard’s Catholic College. Well done and thanks.
