ANNUAL EASTER PILGRIMAGE TO LOURDES 2018 The leaders and young people of St Agnes’ Youth Club who organized the Church Door Collection last weekend would like to thank Fr. McGlynn for the permission to hold the collection. The young people both in St Agnes’ Youth club and young parishioners have excelled yet once again in their fundraising efforts throughout the year. Thanks to the great generosity of the parishioners the total amount collected was £2014.54. The Pilgrimage organizers would like to thank everyone involved at the weekend and are delighted to see the young people reaching out to those less fortunate than themselves. We assure you all that you will be remembered in our prayers in Lourdes.

N.B The Parish Office will be closed this Monday 19th March.
