Over the coming months, we'll be delving into our shared history, unearthing the stories, photos, laughter, and tears that have shaped our community. We want to celebrate the everyday moments and remarkable lives that have brought us to where we are today. Do you have a tale to tell, no matter how small? You may have stores about the churches over the years, the 'Hut' and more. We'd love to hear from you. 

Sharing your memories is easier than you think. Simply get in touch with Father Adrian, and he'll be happy to listen to your story. There's no need to write anything down – we can record your recollections and then provide you with a written version to review and adjust as you wish. You can meet Father Adrian in your home, his home or a place of your choice. Photographs/clippings are also incredibly welcome, as they truly can speak volumes. The photos/clippings will be copied and the originals passed back to you. Maybe you can listen to someone else to record their stories and send these to Father Adrian. 

If you're passionate about preserving your stories for future generations, please speak to Father Adrian or fill out the form via the link below.

We're thrilled to launch this project with a wonderful story from Vince Corcoran about the remarkable Sister Imelda who worked in Port Clarence. You may have your own stories about Sister Imelda. Please share!! He has also provided lots of photos he took over the year starting with Father Damien. 

Pauline Hewitt has provided historic information of our Choir and Choral Society at Holy Rosary.

Ann Smith has provided historical information about the first Headteacher at St. John's Catholic Primary School.

Kath Wilson and Eileen Felgate have supplied a booklet of the Silver Jubilee Holy Rosary 1960-1985. There is so much history within the booklet worth reading. More to follow from these good people. A Mass with video of one of the celebrations in 1985 including the Festival of Flowers. 

Fathers Butters has provided some of his many memories. Many more to follow I am sure.
