Information

WEBSITE PHOTOS
If you think you have a photo which deserves a place on the website, www.strichardsparish.uklinux.net then here's what we would like you to do . . .
Carefully, on the back of the photo,
a.) write your name,
b.) write the names of those in the photo, and
c.) write something about what's happening, eg 'After his First Communion'.
On an envelope with your photo inside, write 'Website Photo'. If there is too much to write then slip a separate piece of paper in the envelope with the photo. Envelopes can be taken to Mrs Snape's Classroom where they will be picked up on Friday 3rd May and will be returned to Mrs Snape on Friday 17th May. The loan of your photo will be accepted as permission to place them on the Internet. We will let you know in the newsletter as soon as you can see your photos online.

October 1st 1927
Were you around then, when the Foundation Stone of the church was laid ? This year the church building will be 75 years old. Any ideas how to mark this moment in the life of our parish community? How would you like to celebrate this?
