Dear Sisters & Brothers,
‘Thank you’ for your generosity with the Christmas collection. Thanks also to all those who
sent cards and gifts to Fr. Regis, the Sisters and to me. Sr. Agnes and Sr. Mary also wish to express
their gratitude for the good wishes and gifts they received from you over Christmas.
I would like to express my gratitude to the many parishioners who gave of their time and worked
so hard to prepare the Church and assist at the many services and Masses over the Christmas
period. Thank you to the people who cleaned the Church and prepared the flowers and decorations.
It was also good to have our singers and musicians leading the music over the Christmas period. I
thank the altar servers for turning out with their usual enthusiasm. The Children’s involvement in
the Christingle and the Brass band also added to the celebration in our Church over the Christmas
season.
There are many others, including readers, ministers, sacristans, Task Force, cleaners, collectors and
money counters who made a vital contribution to our Christmas arrangements. I am grateful to
them not only for assisting at Christmas but for all they do throughout the year.
A special word of thanks to the Sydenham Knights of St. Columba who provide the lovely
Christmas tree for our Church.
Yours in Christ,
PARISH WOMEN’S GROUP – Please note there will be NO meeting during the Month of January.
