Father Mark made his Profession of Faith, he was given the Book of the Sacred Scriptures, the keys to the tabernacle and the Parish Seal, symbols of his Office as Parish Priest and lastly made his Oath of Fidelity which explains Father Marks very long list of duties now at our Parish.

It was a wonderful occasion and it was great to see the Headteacher and Assistant Head Teacher of St Mary’s Catholic Primary school, along with many of our Parishoners at this mass followed by wine and cake in the Parish hall after.
