May the blessings of the mission continue to enrich the lives of all who attended and all the people of the parish.

GRATITUDE

To the bakers of the the Manor and surrounding area, sincere and heartfelt thanks for your heroic efforts on Saturday, September 16, in providing a feast of tea and cake, fit for the president himself, in Newtownmanor Hall. As Fr Noel Kehoe (Redemptorist) said the next day at Sunday Mass, ‘The Great British Bake Off could not have provided a better selection of cakes and buns than was available in the Manor Hall yesterday’. Well done to all involved.
