Christmas Angels


Every child from our three primary schools have been and are decorating an angel each for the parish Christmas trees. They are for parishioners and visitors to write the name of a loved one, and, we will pray for all those Heavenly angels throughout this season of Christmas, as they will be brought forward and placed on the Christmas trees.

 

The Christmas angels will be in  Church from 7th December
