May I thank everybody for their generosity on the occasion of my 60th birthday. I was very touched by all the cards, pictures and presents that were given to me last Sunday. Last week I looked over the Proms programme and have chosen a few to attend; Debussy, Berlioz and Verdi and will now wait until ticket sales begin on Saturday 12th May. Your present will make for some enjoyable summer evenings.
The next marriage preparation course at St Margaret's is on Saturday 16th June. If you would like to attend, please contact Jean in the Parish office.

May I thank on behalf of the Parish all those Parishioners who made the celebration of Holy Week and Easter such a spiritual and moving time.
Many people were involved over the week, Siobhan, Grainne, Liz, Alban and Natasha for directing, playing music, building and painting the sets for the Passion Play; for the music during Holy Week, Joseph, Emma and the choir; for the music on Easter Sunday, Gavin and the choir; for those who prepared the altar of repose, the flowers, acted as MC, Jimmy, Allison and Pat; for those who opened the bar after the Vigil and provided coffee after Easter Sunday Mass, Adrian, Kathy and Mary.
