PAINTING OF ST MARY’S – A really big thank you to everyone who helped in any way over the past few weeks to make the painting of St Mary’s as easy as possible. Without your help it would have been so much more difficult and would have taken longer. There is an old saying that many hands make light work but when we help one another we make parish and community work. Thanks again to you for that.
