'Hats off to Women' was the theme of the Bishop of Ebbsfleet's sermon at the 2017 Saint Agatha's Festival Day, as he described the courage and example of St Agatha and other virgin martyrs.

We were fortunate indeed to have as principal celebrant and preacher, Jonathan Goodall - Bishop of Ebbsleet. His inspiring sermon will soon be available online on this site. Over 130 people including 10 priests, from Birmingham and the Black Country, joined St Agatha's people in celebrating Saint Agatha.
