THANK YOU: It is hard to believe that I have just celebrated my second Christmas with you here at St Vincent’s. It is a joy to be your parish priest and I want to thank you all for making me so welcome and to so many of you who share so generously of your gifts and time to support me and our Parish Family.  A special thank you to all those who helped to make our Christmas liturgies so special: to the choir and music group for leading our singing, for those who have produced such beautiful flower arrangements in church; for our stewards, servers and ministers and to all who have helped in any way. Thank you too for the many cards and kind gifts that I have received. Let’s pray that 2022 will be year when finally some normality may return to our parish.

NEW YEAR’S DAY MASS: There will be Mass at 11am next Saturday, the Feast of Mary Mother of God, and New Year’s Day. Please join us to Ask our Blessed Lady to pray for us at the start of the New Year.

CONGRATULATIONS to our parish organist, David Tredwell who was awarded the Papal Medal, Bene Merenti, for his service to our Parish. We are so blessed that David shares his gifts with us so selflessly. Thank you David the medal is so well deserved!
