Message from our Vicar:
At the time of my early ministry as a Parish Priest I’d use some of my rest days to go with my wife and four kids and our cairn terrier dog (Eric) and climb some of the mountains of South Wales. Sugar Loaf, Mt Blorenge and the Brecon Beacons were favourite walking spots for us. I’m not sure if I could climb those mountains and hills of South Wales as fast as I did then. It’d take quite a bit more effort now that I’m older.
The frontage at St John’s Sorrento is rather steep. Some people do not find it easy to walk up the slope and climb the deep steps into church. A big decision has been made to do something about that. Soon after 18 June work will begin making the access into and out of St John Sorrento more straightforward. The project has been well planned and tastefully designed. We hope it will be accomplished by the end of October. We have faith that you will like it when it is finished and see it as a great benefit to the whole parish.
Please try to support the development through making a donation. Your donation will help others to reach the top and not feel as if they have been forgotten or left at the bottom
Fr Nick.
Vicar.
