Christmas Eve Prayer
Loving God, Help us remember the birth of Jesus, that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness of the shepherds, and worship of the wise men. Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world. Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings, and teach us to be merry with clear hearts. May the Christmas morning make us happy to be thy children, and Christmas evening bring us to our beds with grateful thoughts, forgiving and forgiven, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal
Thank you for your generous support of the Vinnies Christmas Appeal. Peter Wynter, from our local St Vincent de Paul chapter, was thrilled by the amount of food that we donated and assured us they would be gratefully received by some locals doing it tough.
