Dear parishioners and friends,
What a fantastic celebration we had last Sunday at the Guardian Angels international summer fair!
It was wonderful to see how our parish came together to organise and attend this event, making it so very special!
A huge thank you to all those who helped organising, setting up the hall, cooking, manning the various stalls (raffle, tombola, food, cakes, bar, games and face painting). A special thank you to our talented performers: Angel; Fiona, Claudia, Imogen and Esther Lim; Phoebe Crewe, Lily Bunn and Aaron Dennis; to Nigel Bunn for providing and manning the BBQ, to Maureen and Godfrey for the plant stall and raffle, to Teresa Registe for the cake and wine raffle. A heartfelt thank you also to our friends from Pellicci’s cafe in Bethnal Green who donated drinks for our bar and to all the businesses that donated raffle prizes: The Waterhouse project in Bethnal Green, Rich Mix cinema, Genesis cinema, ClueQuest and Hackney Wick community sauna.
Not only did we all enjoy ourselves on Sunday but, thanks to your generosity, we also managed to raise £2,796 that will be added to the parish centre renovation fund.
You will have noticed that we recently had the hall floor refurbished. We hope now to have enough funds to proceed to the second phase of the project , which is the refurbishment of the entrance to the parish centre (via the car park/playground). We are in the process of obtaining an estimate and we will hopefully start work soon.
May God bless you.
Fr. John and the Parish Fundraising Committee
