There will be fun for all the family at our Family Fun Day and Summer Fête, which will take place on Sunday 15th June.
The Fête will be held in and around the Parish Centre from 2.00 — 5.00pm and will have the usual stalls (no white elephant) and much outdoors fun too.
We will have bouncy castles, alongside burgers and hotdog stalls. This will undoubtedly be a fantastic afternoon and a great way of raising much-needed funds for the Parish. The stalls, like before, will be manned by representatives of the various organisations.
Please make sure to keep this date free in your diary as it is really important for our Parish. As well as being a great Parish get together, the Family Fun Day and Parish Fête will be main means of fundraising this year.
Our Indian Night, held in the Parish Centre on Friday 29th February, was a great success. 130 people came along and raised €4,060 for the USPG’s Delhi Brotherhood Project.

Thanks to all who helped, especially Heather, Mandy and Elaine who sold tickets and all who helped set up the Parish Centre and made the night a success.
Thanks also to Breda, Mandy and Linda, Ted and Declan and the Rector for dressing appropriately! (Roll on the next fashion show!)
Over the last couple of years we have become involved with the Missionary Society USPG (United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel). In particular, we have linked in with a project in Delhi, India, run by the Delhi Brotherhood, which was set up over a hundred years ago as an extension link from Cambridge University.
The Delhi Brotherhood Project does immensely good work. Many hundreds of young people travel to the city for work.These are as young as 5 or 6 years old. As they reach the main train station in Delhi representatives of the thriving sex industry offer them accommodation and promise them work. Many end up on drugs, on the street as child prostitutes or worse.
The Delhi Brotherhood endeavour to break that cycle by offering these children accommodation in their shelters across the city. Alongside that they educate them in practical ways.The girls are taught sewing and dressmaking. The boys are taught basic computer skills and car mechanics. These are invaluable skills in the bustling city of Delhi.
