On Friday 20th September Bishop Patrick came to St. Gregory's to confirm eight of our young parishioners: Isaac, Lucy, Kian, Sophiea, Jack, Hope, Gareth and Matthew.
It was a lovely parish event. Fr Jonathan, the Bishop’s private secretary, was effusive in his praise of the organisation of the evening, the number and the quality of the altar servers (thank you, Wilf), the wonderful music (thank you, Jean and Veronica) and the self-evident sense of community spirit which he could clearly perceive. As a parish, we join with Bishop Patrick who thanked the catechists for their work over several months in preparing the candidates (thank you, Rebecca and Roberta).
