Next year we hope to develop more direct links with a parish in ‘The Holy Land’ following our parish pilgrimage in April 2008. Our support to people in Palestine will then have a more ‘personal’ aspect being to people we have met ‘face to face’. See John Borda's pictures from his 2003 trip.

We have five pilgrims from our parish attending WYD in Sydney next year, they are, Caitlin Linthwaite, Katrina Darbyshire, Adam Pearson, Charlotte Dore and Bethanie Dann. All five have been busy since Christmas 2006 raising funds to help attend WYD08 and wish to thank the parish for their generous support in buying, sponsoring or attending events. See WYD notice (PDF, 40kB). Thanks to your generosity, all the money they need has been raised, and they are currently raising funds for other pilgrims who are not so fortunate.
