On theb night of 22nd November the Boxing Club, who have exclusive use of the St Agatha's Church Hall, opened its doors to all to spread the word that the famous Yafai brothers have taken the club under their wings and intend to rejuvenate the community club. One of the brothers - Galal - is a Commonwealth and OLympic Champion.

We were fortunate indeed to welcome as principal celebrant and preacher, the inspiring Bishop of Oswestry , Paul Thomas SSC. Preaching from the chancel and not the pulpit he broke down the barriers that speaking from on high can produce. After concelebrating with Fr Thomas and invited priests he went on to invite veneration of the church;s relic of Saint Agatha. Mass concluded with a blessing of the new facilities funded by charitable trusts and the Greatrex family.
