Parishioners from both parishes were invited to the annual St Anne's Christmas lunch, arranged by their social committee and held in the St Saviour's Church Hall.
Deacon Stephen and his wife Caroline were happy to come and join in the festive spirit.
Although the invitation was welcomed, the number of different Church activities taking place that afternoon in the Lymington area made it inevitable that a number of Our Lady of Mercy parish were unable to attend. Parishioners from St Anne's, however, were there in good numbers.
Those from either parish who did come, including Canon Peter Wilkie, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
They had a choice of dishes prepared on the premises
by the hard-working volunteers, or cooked at the house of parishioners who live nearby.
The delightful desserts were provided by members of the parish.
Fr Danny obviously enjoyed his meal, and can look forward to the fact that from now onwards with the help of parishioners it may be possible to organize a similar function in the new Hospitality Centre at Our Lady of Mercy.
These photographs were supplied by Carole Puttick, to whom many thanks.
