On Saturday, 29th June 2024, we celebrated the centenary of our parish, so marking the feast day of the patron of our parish, St Peter. Bishop Mark Davies concelebrated our midday Mass with many former priests and a deacon of the parish alongside Fr Peter and Deacon John. Our church was packed to the rafters and fortunately the weather stayed fine for us to enjoy a glass of something sparkling on the parish lawn afterwards. We then gathered in the beautifully decorated parish centre for a buffet and happy conversations for several hours.

Over the whole weekend, Friday to Sunday, we had the most impressive and moving flower festival, designed and executed by our four flower arranging teams. The artistry, creativity, thoughtfulness and craftsmanship was outstanding and donations received from visitors, totalling almost £435, were given to St Ann’s Hospice and Francis House.

Do look at our pictures of the weekend, watch the recording of our wonderful Centenary Mass, sing along with us and share the joy of our wonderful parish community. Here’s to the next 100 years!
