These words of Pope Pius XI refer to the Sacred Heart Devotion, which in its present form dates from the revelations gi...

Wind Damage to our Church

Posted on April 17, 2016 in: Primary Home Page

WIND DAMAGE TO OUR CHURCH   The extreme wind storms of early April with wind gusts exceeding 60mph did cause some damage to our church.
