Many thanks to all who helped in organising the special month's mind Mass for our late and beloved, John Paul II – the lovely flower arrangements, the very appropriate bidding prayers, the selection of gifts at the Offertory, and the choir.

Dogs on the Lawn

We appeal, again, to those who have dogs in the Clarinbridge area, to keep them under control when in the church grounds. You can see for yourselves what is happening. When these dogs clean themselves on the lawn, it makes the cutting of the grass a very difficult and very unpleasant task. Indeed, it makes walking to and from the church a bit unpleasant.
