LATEST NEWS AND EVENTS

 
ST. CUTHBERT’S CENTRE
Bishop blessing centre

St. Cuthbert’s Centre was opened and blessed by Bishop Seamus Cunningham in September 2010. This was a result of two years of grant applications, fund raising, refurbishment work and time and effort given freely by our own faithful working group by cleaning painting & decorating, carrying out building repairs and other work.

Duke signs visitors book

We were very honoured to have the Centre formally opened by HRH The Duke of Kent in October 2010 at which he signed our visitor’s book and met and talked with the various groups who use the centre and those involved with the re-furbishment.

Duke planting tree

HRH The Duke of Kent also planted a tree, which was the start of our garden. Since then, the garden has grown with roses being planted in memory of loved ones together with lots of other lovely flowers.
