Note from Fr. Colm
We have new appointment to the Parish of the Durham Martyrs. Fr.
Dan Fitzpatrick joins us in a few weeks’ time. This will change some
aspects of the present plans for the future, but again I reiterate, the
preparations already in place for the future will still remain. Fr. Dan is
here both to assist and gain invaluable experience. We welcome him
and look forward to him being a part of our parish team.
What a lovely new sign outside St. Godric’s Church. A fitting welcome
to parishioner and stranger alike.
