PARISH WORKING DAY

 It was terrific! Twenty two parishioners and even a chap called Jacob, from St Mary’s Halifax, turned up to work their way through the jobs identified on the clip boards. All the work was completed and even a few extra bits and pieces and we still got home early afternoon. It was a magnificent response, the atmosphere was really good and the Church, hall and grounds look great. Thank you so much to those who responded to the call. Well done everyone.

 A big thank you to Cath and Keith for organising the day. They are marvellous.          

ANGEL CAFE

St. Columba’s Church in Pellon are holding a Dementia Friendly Café on the third Sunday of every month between 12.00 noon  and 2.30pm in the Church hall.   All welcome.

BECOMING A DEMENTIA FRIENDLY PARISH

Message from Rachel Walker from Growing Old Grace-fully.

Representatives from five parishes came to the Dementia Friends session yesterday evening at St Theresa of the Child Jesus in Queensbury.  That means that at least 10 parishes in our Diocese have started the process of becoming a dementia friendly one.

Thank you to everyone from St Theresa’s, St Bernard’s, St Columba’s, St Malachy’s and St Mary’s who attended ‘Becoming a Dementia Friendly Parish’ session on Wednesday 25th October.   Growing Old Grace-fully was given such a warm welcome and 16 people each became a Dementia Friend.

We need to share the wonderful work that shows the love of God in action happening in our parishes across our Diocese and beyond.

Thank you again to all who attended, to Christine in particular for arranging the session and to everyone at St Theresa’s for such a warm welcome.

Rachel Walker
