Mary and Joseph relied on the kindness of strangers to house and feed them as they prepared for the birth of Jesus.

We would like to invite you to a Family Night with music, nibbles, fun and good company on Friday, 9th December from 19:00 in St Patrick’ parish centre and ask that instead of buying a ticket, you might consider being “kind to a stranger” who is struggling in our own locality and donate a bag of shopping. Tins of food, toiletries, tea, coffee etc. which will be given to the Sisters of Charity in Newcastle to be distributed to those in need.
