Goodbye – Just a brief note to say that once our actual moving process started, it went very quickly and we did not really get a proper chance to say ‘Goodbye’. During the last 19 years, we have enjoyed and have very much been enriched from being part of the Catholic community in East Grinstead/Lingfield and of St Peter’s School. We would like to thank all parishioners for that. We are currently renting a house in Keymer (very near the South Downs) but are now on track to be in a house of our own in Hurstpierpoint, hopefully by the end of June. We will advise our new address when that transaction is complete. In the interim may we wish everyone the joy of Easter. With thanks … Simon and Bridget Parr and family.
CHRISTIAN MEDITATION GROUP – We are changing our meeting times and venue. We will now be meeting each Monday from 7.30-8.30pm in the Parish Centre/ Church Hall, at Our Lady and St Peter’s, East Grinstead. Our next meeting will be on Monday 4th April. You are welcome to join us. For more information, please contact Gabrielle Joyce on 326118.
