Quiz night - MANY THANKS TO ALL WHO SUPPORTED THE QUIZ NIGHT, especially Linda Boughey and the Fundraising committee, to Cathy & Tony Smith who organised the Quiz and to Musicians Andrew & Maria Cliffe and to all who supported the Event. We raised the fantastic amount of £527 for Parish Funds. The night was a big success, with more than 100 turning up.  Only 1 point separated the top 3 teams and everyone had a good night. More details will follow, but thankyou to everyone involved in making it such a successful evening.

St.Gabriel’s School. The school has been awarded an Ofsted Outstanding Grading, something which is extremely difficult to achieve under the recently changed Department of Education guidelines. This reflects great credit to all at the School and especially to Miss Caulfield, Headteacher, the teaching staff and pupils. Congratulations to all.

Benemerenti Medals. We congratulate Margaret Hewetson & John Bagshaw for being granted the Benemerenti Medals for outstanding service to the Church. We held a special Mass for them on Saturday 21^st April and photos from this special day are available at this link.

We held our annual Summer Fayre on 9th June and some photographs, and further details, from the event are available here.
