Canon Michael is celebrating his 40th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood on 26th October 2025 with a special lunchtime party in the Church Hall at English Martyrs.

We would like to mark this special occasion with a present to him to be spent as he wishes. All money donated will be given to him at the party.

Please do leave a little message with your donation so he knows how very much appreciated he is.

The party will be straight after Mass and will include a Hog Roast (vegetarian option available), a drink on arrival and a band. Please do let Jo Halligan know if you plan to attend for catering numbers. ([email redacted].uk)

Offers of help - setting up/providing cakes/clearing away are very much needed and appreciated.
