Confirmation Classes begin soon!
Confirmation Class 2012 
 
Two groups are now organised for young people and adults wishing to prepare for the sacrament of Holy Confirmation, to take place when Bishop David visits in early December.
Both groups are meeting 5-6 times on Saturdays, between now and the Confirmation service on Sunday 4th December. Not too late to join one of these groups! Let Father Walter know! 
A trail racer is born: well done Emily!  
Emily completes her first trail race in style_
Following (literally) in her father's footsteps, Emily Rolfe completed her first ever trail race coming in first in her age group. The "Trail per Cami" event took place on Sunday 4th September in the high country behind Nice, on a 13 km trail, in and around the village of Belv�d�re, and climbing to an elevation of 1,000 meters. Well done Emily, and congratulations to the proud parents, Ben and Sally. This looks to be the beginning of a very promising trail racing career!
