A story about a little church…

BREAKING NEWS! St Francis de Sales will host it's last ever Mass next Sunday (18th) and we want to get as big of a turn out as possible to send the old church out in style. Come one, come many - including a luncheon to follow at Woodbourne Tavern & Motels.

There will be some media in the coming days with more information on the future of the church (we are hopeful the building will stay in place, but it is certain to be deconsecrated after June 18).

So please come along, invite your friends and spread the word!:

Final Mass, St Francis de Sales Church, cnr Alma and Clyde streets, Renwick, 10am Sunday June 18. Followed by a luncheon at 'The Woody' ($35 for a two course roast lunch) - all invited, just rsvp to [email protected]

Refreshments will follow Mass, so come along and see Fr Pat McIndoe off and thank him for his service.
