2nd Annual Sacred Heart Food Festival 2025
The 2nd Annual Sacred Heart Food Festival will be held on *Sunday, 30th November 2025*, right after morning Mass. Following last year’s success, the festival will once again celebrate the parish’s diverse community through food and fun.
This year, the festival also serves as a fundraiser to support essential repairs to the church, with a goal of raising at least *£500*. Parishioners are encouraged to contribute a dish that reflects their culture or favourite recipe and take part in light-hearted competitions like “Guess the Weight of the Cake.”
Volunteers are also needed to help with refreshments and donations. All are invited to join in making this a memorable and meaningful day for the parish community.
Our church community has achieved remarkable growth through impactful outreach, engaging worship, and dedicated volunteers. We warmly invite you to support us by sharing your skills to help sustain and expand our mission. Together, we can continue fostering a welcoming, loving environment for all. For more details, please review the Parish Pastoral Council minutes on our website.
