Last Tuesday, a Mass of Anointing celebrated by Fr. Bob set the scene for a time of community, companionship and good cheer.
A first-class Christmas dinner followed, in the hall, cooked on the spot, by the organizers and their helpers Barbara, Doris, Trish, Betty, Elaine, Diane, Marise.
Cohn, Kevin, Paul, Brian, Mario and Rick proved to be impeccable in their role as waiters for the occasion.
Entertainment was provided by the Golden Tappers. Mario Perrone's golden voice had the audience clamoring for encores. Sr. Joyce was the accomplished accompanist throughout.
Mary Heffeman, at 102, the oldest member present, cut the cake and was accompanied by the youngest one, Ava - all of 6 months.
A special word of thanks is extended to those who helped to set up the hall and tables for the party the night before. The tables looked beautiful and your contribution was very much appreciated. Thanks are also extended to Jamie and his Tae Kwon Do school for the help they give in clearing the hall and helping to put up the tables for us as well.
A final 'hip-hip' to the organizers Geraldine Crawford, Margaret Buzza, Carol Leahy, Edith Blenheim & Sr. Catherine. This was a real parish effort, greatly appreciated by those who were in attendance.
