New ‘ Online Parishioner Friends’

Whilst at the time of writing this post ( 21st April 2020) the country is still on ‘ lock down’ due to the COVID-19 epidemic and our Churches remain closed. Mass is celebrated behind closed doors and we daily join our fellow Parishioners sitting on ‘ virtual pews’ via our Live stream service. Having the Livestream has meant that we now have a brand new ‘online community’ of Parishioner friends from across the country and in fact across the globe which is wonderful!

One of our new ‘ On line friends’ is Christopher Basson who is an 81 years old Artist from Worsley in Manchester.

Christopher joined our livestream Mass one day and sent a lovely ‘ Thank you’ message to Father, accompanied by some fabulous pictures that he had created and is happy to share with us all. Please check our SPA ( Senior Parish Art) Group page – found under ‘ Parish Groups’ to see more…

We welcome Christopher as a new friend, fellow Parishioner and visiting guest member of our ‘SPA’ Club. Thank you for sharing your wonderful paintings and cartoons with us!
