GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE – It was hoped that the Youth would take on this project, but it is too big a project for them to handle, likewise our aging gardeners. It is a project that requires involvement from the whole parish.

If you are interested in being involved, please add your name and telephone number to the list at the back of church.

If there are insufficient volunteers, the project cannot proceed.
