PLANNING PARISH SOCIAL EVENTS: A very productive meeting was held where we agreed a number of events to bring our Parish community together. A quiz night is planned for 10 September. It was agreed we would hold a Parish Dinner probably at Knutsford Golf Club. In November there will be a shared table with a speaker and in the build up to Christmas there will be a Carol Service in Church followed by Mulled wine and mince pies in the hall. We also hope to organise informal parish walks each month. For next year we are hoping to arrange a Wine tasting evening, an International Mass followed by shared food celebrating the great variety of nationalities that now make up our parish family.
MINNIE VINNIES: We welcome today representatives of the Minnie Vinnies Group at St Vincent’s school who will talk about their work and serve tea and coffee in the hall after 11am Mass
