Late last year, the community at Our Lady of Walsingham Church in Netherton came together for a special Mass at 10:00 am, led by Father Gervaise.

The occasion was to unveil a commemorative plaque in memory of the countless pilgrims who had visited the shrine at Walsingham, Norfolk over the years.

Following the Mass, a well-attended buffet was held in the parochial club. The event served as an opportunity for individuals to share their memories and experiences related to the Walsingham shrine.

In addition to the commemorative Mass, Our Lady of Walsingham Church actively participated in a charitable initiative. The community hosted a Macmillan charity afternoon that proved to be a resounding success, raising a commendable £556.20.

The funds generated during this event will contribute to supporting the crucial work carried out by Macmillan Cancer Support.

The parish extends its sincere gratitude to all who attended the charity afternoon and those who generously supported the cause. A special acknowledgement goes to Maria, the manager of the parish centre, and her staff, whose unwavering support played a vital role in the success of the event.
