In spite of restrictions due to Covid, the 2021 Bede's Day was a wonderful celebration. As always, the altar was beautifully decorated by Edna, and Robbie McMahon received the Ministry of Acolyte (postponed from earlier due to illness). We thank all our friends for their good wishes and in return we wish everyone associated with us a very happy feast day. Click the pic for the photos.
