⭐️ A Huge Thank You ⭐️
What a fantastic Parish Fête we had last Saturday. A massive thank you to everyone who attended, supported, volunteered, donated, baked, organised, and helped make the day such a tremendous success. There was something for everyone to enjoy, from the big raffle, bottles stall, tombola’s and Wheel of Fortune, to the home baking, café, Bake Off Competition, chocolate fountain, pet zoo, face painter, Beat the Goalie, and so much more. We are absolutely delighted to announce that, thanks to your generosity and support, a fantastic amount was raised for parish funds. Just as importantly, though, the fête provided a wonderful opportunity for people to come together. And, of course, God was good and kind to us with the weather keeping it dry. Thank you once again to everyone who played a part in making the Parish Fête such a memorable and successful occasion.
Ready, Steady…Bake Off Competition
As part of our Summer Fete, we’re inviting all star bakers, secret cake champions, and enthusiastic “have a go” parishioners to enter our very own Lourdes Parish Bake Off Competition! Dust off those recipe books, fire up those ovens, and bring along your finest cakes, traybakes, cupcakes, scones, brownies, or signature showstoppers for judging on the day.
Fr Joe will bravely take on the role of chief judge — tasting duties may be difficult, but someone has to do it!
To enter, please register in advance and let us know what delicious creation you’ll be bringing either by signing up on the Bake off Sheet in the porch or via our Facebook page. There may be glory… there may be crumbs… but there will definitely be cake! 🎂

Thank you to everyone who came along and made our St Patrick’s Night party such a great success. Massive thank you to the Social Committee for organising such a fantastic evening.

Quiz Night
What a fantastic quiz night! A huge thank you to Margaret and her fabulous team and to everyone who helped and supported what truly was a great evening enjoyed by all. Terrific raising over £782 for parish funds. Date will be set soon for next quiz night.

Carols by Candlelight
A wonderful afternoon was enjoyed by all. The church was filled with the lovely glow of candles, decked beautifully with lights, the joyful sound of familiar carols, and there was a great sense of togetherness. And thank you to the Lourdes Theatre Group's generosity, a great contribution was raised for our parish funds. Heartfelt thanks goes to the Lourdes Theatre Group for their lovely singing and playing, and to all who attended and shared in the spirit of the season.
Parish Art Exhibition and Sale
A massive thank you to Brendan and Pat Kelly and their family, to everyone who helped in any way with the art sale, and to all who came along to support it. It was a truly terrific afternoon, enjoyed by all. A wonderful selection of pieces found new homes, with the very successful and incredible amount of £4935.15 raised for the Parish Maintenance Fund. Sincere thanks to everyone whose generosity and hard work made this event such a success.
Parish Family Christmas Party
An excellent family Christmas party was enjoyed by everyone, filled with laughter, good Christmas games and plenty festive cheer. Huge thanks go to all who worked so hard behind the scenes to organise and prepare such a wonderful party, and to everyone who came along to celebrate and make it so special. A very special mention, of course, to Santa himself for adding that extra touch of Christmas magic 🎄✨
