St Anne's Centenary

St Anne’s Centenary

This year we celebrate 100 years of the opening of St Anne’s Church. It would be lovely if we could mark this event in some way.

If you would like to contribute to the planning of a celebration then please come to a meeting in the Marian Room at St Anne’s on Tuesday, 6th May at 6pm.

This meeting is open to parishioners from both our churches.

Friendship Club

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, 7th May. We will get together at Oswaldtwistle Mills for a meal. Entertainment will be provided by Louis Devere who is, we are told, noted for his joie de vivre! It should be a great afternoon out.

We are still desperately in need of volunteer drivers to bring members to the meeting each month and take them home again afterwards. If you can help, please let Siobhan know so that she can pass on your details.

Rest in Peace Notice

Requiem Mass

We offer our condolences to the family of Patricia (Pattie) Sloan who has died.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord.
