Mamma Margherita Fellowship
Sharing the Love of Jesus
Yvette MacLeod
The Mamma Margherita Fellowship is a parish social activity for the retired. Its aims are:
- To provide a warm, welcoming space for retired people of all faiths and no faith to meet on a regular monthly basis (usually 2.00-4.00 pm on the second Thursday of each month) to foster friendship and fellowship within our caring Christian community.
- To provide the opportunity to celebrate Mass together, including occasionally, Mass where the Sacrament of Anointment and Healing is available.
- To provide an ‘activity’ each month such as entertainment, informative talks, demonstrations, quizzes or games.
The club is named after Margherita Occhiena Bosco (1788-1856) who was the mother of Saint John Bosco SDB.
The proposed programme for the second quarter of 2025 is:
