CHRISTMAS THANK YOU

I take this opportunity to thank each and everyone who has supported our Parish during the past year, both by participation in our Church ceremonies and in the financial support you so generously continue to give. A very special welcome to family members who have been able to travel home for this Christmas and we remember especially those who are apart from us this year.
