In addition, the Feast Day of St Marina is celebrated on 17th July which is a

be held if it is not on 17th itself.

On 28th April, the Church Council discussed possibilities for a Parish Outing.
A possible trip to Llangollen was suggested – perhaps in September.
If you would like to offer alternative suggestions or approve/disapprove of the Llangollen idea, please make your feelings known for discussion with a Council member before the meeting on July 4th.
