I have been a parishioner at St Aidan’s since I married my wife, Janet, in St Aidan’s church thirty three years ago.
Our three children all went to St Aidan’s Primary School.
I am a special minister of the Eucharist and a regular sacristan at the 6:00pm Saturday Mass.Twelve years ago I joined the HCPT trip to Lourdes and I have been a regular pilgrim ever since. It is humbling to put the needs of others before yourself for one week of the year and I have always found it a rewarding and enjoyable experience.I help with the Premises Team and make the tea for the monthly Task Force. I am eager to see our parish at St Aidan’s become a more engaging vibrant community that seeks to help those in need.
