About 40 folk were there, not bad for a wet Monday evening.
Fr Anthony Collins OFM came along. He gave a short history of the life of St Antony, blessed the statue and we ended the evening with Benediction.
We then repaired to the foyer of the Church for a cup of tea, aranged by the parish Committee. At present we have no Parish Hall, but we are hoping to change that soon.
St Anthony is a very interesting saint. He is called "Wonder Worker", and is perhaps most famous for finding things that get lost.
Try him.....
