Marvellous May
May 11, 2026
It was wonderful to see so many people at the annual torchlight procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We also enjoyed an evening of wonderful magic and music with Fr Dominic and friends... all in a good cause.
What a wonderful week of great events. First it was great to see so many people attending the May Procession in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary which took place last Wednesday. We had Fr John George from St Francis Xavier’s as the preacher and he spoke brilliantly with lots of people commenting afterwards on how well he preached.
We had Marvellous May Magic last Saturday which was a spellbinding and enjoyable evening. Fr Dominic has asked to share this message with everyone. ‘I would like to thank all those, especially those on the Fete and Events Committee, who helped make the May Magic Evening such a success. I emailed the founder of Kids for Kids, Patricia Parker, she replied, “An amazing donation £1,050, that is so wonderful.”’
