As we plan for this important celebration we would greatly welcome your input, if you have any ideas how you would like this Anniversary to be marked, example, special Mass, social gathering, please let us know. We would also be grateful if anyone has old photographs, newspaper clippings or memorabilia connected to the Church over the last 50 years.
