"I will worship at your holy temple
and give thanks to your name."
and give thanks to your name."
On behalf of all the young people travelling to Poland this weekend I would like to say a huge thank you to Alison, Ann Marie and Father Mackle and the Parish Youth Committee for their support throughout the planning process. We would not be here at this stage without them. I would also like to thank everyone involved with organising the quiz night, the coffee morning, and Dorothy`s Guess the Teddy`s birthday fundraiser, and to our parishioners for supporting the event and for all the kind donations of raffle prizes and funds. We are lucky to be part of such a generous parish.
We are all really excited about our trip and we are each hoping it will bring us different experiences be that it strengthens our faith, allows us to make new friends or gives us perspective on the directions we wish to go in life.
Finally thanks again to everyone in the parish community for your support and kind words. We have created a Facebook page so we can keep you all updated throughout our time away. This journey is only possible because of all of you.
