PARISH COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
OF OUR CULTURAL TRADITIONS It’s time to organise! The 12.30pm Mass will have a wonderful flavour that praises God for our cultural traditions and also fully acknowledges our desire and awareness of how we are inclusive of all the members of our community who have learning needs. We will gather to share all the joy of our traditions with music, food, dance and play. Are you interested? Share your culture in music, song or dance and sign up and commit to this parish event. Groups will be invited to bring food of their tradition to share together. To book your groups presentation slot contact Terry on: 07766071296. or The Parish Office.
