OUR PARISH JOURNAL
This year’s Journal is still in the process of gathering the last of articles and photos so you still have time to get them in. We may publish a bit later this year. If you have any wedding photos over the last year we would love to include it. If you had a baby in the last year and would like to give us the date of birth to be included in the journal.
With so many people at home it’s a good time to write something for the journal so if you have an article you would like included or an old photograph let us know.
If you have anything you would like included please contact Anne Farrell at 086 8469131 or Nicola at 087 6859868.
