PARTNERSHIP DAY It is almost two years since our partnership was formed & it is time to look at what we have achieved & what is our vision for the future. How have things gone; what are our disappointments; what could make things better; what hopes have been fulfilled and what do we need to do next?

There is a Partnership Away Day this Sat. 16th March at St. Bede's Church Hall, Bedlington, meeting at 10.45am to start at 11am and finish by 3pm. It will be a time of discussion and prayer. Fr. Michael Hickey will lead us in a reflection.
