The model of the new parish centre together with architectural plans and visual images has been placed at the foot of Our Lady’s altar in order to help everyone understand what the new centre will look like.

We are placing this vital parish project under the patronage of Our Lady and we ask all parishioners to pray for and support the project in any way they can. God bless.

Fr. Paddy
