Photos

We are making much more use of our church website and also our Facebook page - part of this is that we are taking, and posting, many more pictures of parish activities.

We don't label the pictures with names - just the event title. If you are uncomfortable with your (or your children's) pictures being on the church web-site or Facebook page let the office know. We will keep a list and will not put up pictures with you in them.

Submissions for "This Week"
