I Ffordd Tangnefedd - (Into the Way of Peace from Luke 1:79) - Starts next Sunday 26 January 2020 at 6:30pm.  A new contemplative service to begin in St German’s on Sunday evenings.    Services will begin with coffee at 6pm followed by a time of reflective prayer and then, hopefully, involve a visit to a local pub for fellowship.         

​Social Committee - Met after last mass last week and agreed a number of events (roughly once a month) for us to celebrate as a community in different ways, e.g., parish lunches, cream teas, Summer fayre etc.  The next one will be on 9 February when we will have ‘Aperitif Sunday’ after mass. This one will be hosted by Richard Davey and offerings will go to his nominated charity.
