Summer is nearly upon us, and it is time to say thank you to our natural Dads (and our spiritual Father!) for all that they do for us. So, given that our Lent Pancake Party was such a success we are organising a Parish Family Party on Saturday 14th June 2008, from 7pm to 10pm in the Parish Hall.

At the party along with barbecue burgers and sausages, there will be music, dancing, karaoke, party games, in fact fun for all the family. This party is aimed at all parishioners from the youngest to the oldest. Children are most welcome, but must be accompanied and supervised by a suitable adult (ideally a parent) at ALL times. Adults may bring their own alcoholic and soft drinks.

This is not a fundraising event, so tickets are extremely cheap, priced at £3 per adult, and £2 per accompanied child (under 18). Tickets are limited (for safety reasons) and will be on sale after Sunday Masses from Sunday 18th May. No tickets will be sold on the door!

You will remember that for our Pancake Party tickets sold out extremely quickly.

Get out your party gear, and bring the whole family, for a fun family night out.

A great way to start the season of Lent is to have a big clear out and so the Shrove Tuesday custom of making pancakes out of all the ingredients that you would not be using during the Lenten Fast came about.

This year both Lent and Easter are extremely early, so to help us all get going with our fasting, we are organising a Parish Family Party on the 1st Saturday of Lent, Saturday 9th February 2008, from 7pm to 10pm.

At the party along with pancakes with various savoury and sweet toppings, there will be music, dancing, karaoke, party games, in fact fun for all the family. This party is aimed at all parishioners from the youngest to the oldest. Children are most welcome, but must be accompanied and supervised by a suitable adult (ideally a parent) at ALL times.

This is not a fundraising event, so tickets are extremely cheap, priced at £3 per person, or £8 per family. Tickets are available at Church on Sundays. No tickets will be sold on the door!

So please put this date in your diary. Get out your party gear, and bring the whole family, for a fun family night out.

Tickets are now SOLD OUT. There is a reserve list for returned tickets.

The SVP Senior Citizens Party takes place this year on Sunday 13th January 2008 from 2:00-5.00 p.m. We invite all Senior Citizens to attend. Tickets are FREE, and available after Sunday Masses.

We also provide transport to and from the party. It is a great opportunity for our older parishioners to get together, so please make sure that they are invited!
