The St Marie’s Heritage Group are pleased to announce that, by popular demand, we will be making available the St Marie’s Parish “Notice Books” once again for inspection and discussion.

The notices were read out to the congregation at the end of Mass and are in effect the modern equivalent of a parish newsletter. These books are a rich source of parish and social history, particularly during the war years and significant events in the churches history. You’ll also find Marriage Banns and notices of parishioners who are sick, lately dead and anniversaries. No doubt, you will find references to your family if they belonged to St Marie’s Parish. The periods that we have available are 1865 – 1867; 1870 – 1873; 1890 -1927 and 1940 – 1980.

In addition to the church notice books we are also very excited to be unveiling the newly restored Pieta at 2.15pm. We hope you can join us.
