Huge thanks to everyone who attended our Curraha #ourparishoftomorrow
Great attendance, fantastic input from Fr. Joe, brilliant questions from the participants, great debates and discussion and most important of all a lovely cup of tea to conclude where many more discussions were had.

He knows our secret hopes and feelings,
He understands
And helps to see us through……
There’s a very special friend
Who always loves us,
Who shares our joys
And problems day by day,

Our Lord – a very special friend in every way.
