Last week Our Lady of Mercy welcomed Fr Vincent Convery, who came to say Sunday Mass and stayed on to enjoy a cuppa with Tom and the rest of us in Joseph's Place.    It was good to meet you, Father!

This is a picture of members of the CWL, Lymington.  They have just filled their Christmas shoe boxes for the Ladies of the Inner Wheel to send to children who would otherwise have nothing at Christmas.

Frances (Standing, Left) takes on the onerous task of organizing the renewed Friendship Club, but her predecessor Clare is a hard act to follow! Yet with an almost full house, a brand new poetry corner, a sweethearted quiz and more yummy cakes and strawberries than the customers could consume, there were no complaints!

Welcome to our newest parishioner, Brooke Sienna Straw, being held here by proud parents Darren and Hayley.       
A few moments after this photo was taken Brooke became a true member of the Church of God through her baptism by Fr David at Our Lady of Lourdes.     
We rejoice for her and welcome her into our parish!
