We have had a website in the parish for a few years now and we will be undertaking a review of the site with the view to making the site easier to move around and find information. If you have any comments or suggestions please let Stephen know or preferably send us an email at gorseinon@menevia.org
In the past we have provided our weekly newsletter by email. We are thinking of re-commencing this service. If you would like to receive a weekly newsletter by email please email the parish on gorseinon@menevia.org to confirm that you would like to be on the mailing list. We hope to commence this service at the beginning of August 25 .
Thank You: To everyone who came to the Garden Party last weekend which was a great success despite the weather. To all of you who brought cakes, food and helped out on the day many thanks. A special thank you to the Loughor Boating Club for providing the Cider and Beer and Lucy’s Best Bites for the cakes, party salads, and serving hotdogs and hamburgers all afternoon. £125 was collected bringing the total to £1410.67.
We are looking for helpers to pass on our faith to our younger parishoners. The more that can support the lighter the workload. If anyone feels they can support us or wants any information as to what is involved they can contact Andrew Hall 07900400938 or email andrewhardinghall7@gmail.com
Please note all services in church are livestreamed via our website at www.parishofgorseinon.org. The livestream only shows part of the front two rows of the centre aisles and the altar. If you have any concerns please speak to Fr. Clement or Stephen.
