On Nov 27th a party was held in the Church Hall to celebrate Donald’s 90th birthday. Many friends and family, some who had traveled half way around the world, attended to wish Donald a happy birthday. An excellent afternoon tea was laid on and Donald cut a celebration cake supplied by Eric and Carole. The photos below were taken during the party.

As usual St Paul’s was involved in the annual Service of Remembrance at Sale Town Hall and War Memorial. Following a Service in Church, the Choirs of St Paul’s and St Joseph’s led a procession to the Town Hall. Becky, Michael, Frank and Donald all took a part in the Service. The slideshow below are of photos taken on the day.
