It is hoped that this plan will allow the Bishop(s) to celebrate Confirmation in each of the parishes hosting Confirmation at least once every three years. <b><i>St Agnes\u2019 Confirmation will be on Tuesday 27th February at 1pm<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES 2018\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/b><b><i>COUNTDOWN IS ON: 254 DAYS TO <\/i><\/b><b><i>GO<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parish News Last week\u2019s Weekly Offertory Promise Collection amounted to \u00a32793.00 Many thanks for your continued support THE SVDP GIVING TREE: GIVING TREE This Sunday 10th Dec is the last date for leaving presents for the Giving Tree.
