Our patronal festinal was celebrated on Saturday 8th Feb. We were fortunate to have as principal celebrant and preacher the Bishop of Oswestry , Bp Paul Thomas. The concelebrated mass featured the confirmation of five people of very different ages. Mass was followed by a splendid buffet, catechesis and veneration of the relic of Saint Agatha. We were joined by other churches in the Midlands - the event being designated as a regional festival of the See of Oswestry.
