Dear Parishioners,

May Sale
A huge thank you to everyone who supported and helped at this year’s sale. We had a bright sunny day and there was a
great buzz about as people browsed the stalls, enjoyed a cup of tea in the hall or a delicious burger outside. The stalls were
cleared by early afternoon and we are all delighted with the funds raised.
A special big thank you to the set-up team who were on site from early morning assembling gazebos, setting up tables and
moving boxes. Thank you to those who manned the stalls and all who helped with the tidy up. We very much appreciate all
the time people gave in preparation and on the day to ensure a successful May sale. Thank you everyone.
