SVP mass for the housebound

We are blessed with a very strong St Vincent de Paul Society in the parish. It organised an afternoon mass for all those members of the parish who can never normally get to Sunday mass. Then there was tea in the church hall. It involves a fair bit of logistics with all the lifts.
Whilst it might be a few years since some have been able to get to church and meet some of their friends, others have never in fact been inside our church, so all-in-all, it is quite a powerful event.
Of course we also get some great cakes...
