Easter Sunday Fun: A Joyful Celebration for All Ages!

🌸🐣 This Easter Sunday, over 200 of us gathered to celebrate in true Northern style! 🎉 After the Family Mass, everyone moved from the church to the Parish Hall, where the festivities truly came alive. 🎈🥳

The children eagerly scattered across the church grounds for a lively peg hunt, searching high and low for hidden pegs to swap for delicious Easter eggs. 🥚🍫 Meanwhile, the stage tables were bursting with beautifully decorated eggs, crafted with love by people of all ages. 🎨🐣

The creativity didn’t stop there—spectacular Easter bonnets were proudly modelled, adding a splash of colour and fun to the day. 🎩🌈 After enjoying cuppas and a glass of wine ☕🍷, the excitement continued with a spirited competition of egg-dunching to crown the King Jarper! 👑🥚

To wrap up the celebrations, certificates and Easter egg prizes were joyfully awarded, making this a truly memorable day for our whole parish family. 🎖️🐣

ACN Red Wednesday Appeal 2024

Following a discussion at the Parish Council Meeting, we invited the community to participate in the 2024 Red Wednesday Appeal, a national initiative that encourages parishes to raise funds to support a worthy cause. In an effort to reach our parish target of £500, parishioners were encouraged to get involved in various ways. Some individuals took on the challenge of counting their steps on a designated day and obtained sponsorships, while others made generous donations directly. Additionally, a raffle was held to add to our fundraising efforts.

The Church was also lit up in Red on Wednesday 20th November and a notice placed on the railings for passers-by to explain why this had been done.

A prayer bookmark was made available to parishioners so that even if they couldn’t take part, they could support the appeal with prayer.

In typical Sacred Heart tradition, the target of £500 was exceeded with £711.50 raised. £250 of this is eligible for Gift Aid which ACN can claim.

We are grateful for the enthusiasm and generosity of our community in supporting this important cause.
