information that it contains, not least the Newsletter including ‘Father Liam
says’. In ‘What’s On’ you will find
details of all the Easter Services.
Quite apart from its usefulness we also need to move it up the ‘Google’
List so that potential visitors to our church will be able to find it
easily. You can help us achieve this by
searching for us. While you are on-line
why not take a look at Trip Advisor – you might be pleasantly surprised!
