“We would like to thank Fr Tom and all of the Parish for your support. Your kindness and prayers have been invaluable and enabled our growth over the past six years. Our work now reaches over 100,000 people every year across the UK in schools, parishes and prisons. One of our highlights was the Good Friday service ‘Born For This’ in 2011 – it was a special time when faith was strengthened and friendships grew. Our Lady of Lourdes will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you.”
