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 first quarter of 2025 is:
9th January 2025
Trisha from the Royal Osteoporosis Society will give a talk and video presentation on living with and mitigating the effects of Osteoporosis ( which effects men and women).
13th February 2025
We will begin with Mass and will then be entertained by Dukes Ukes. Same faces, different songs.
13th March 2025
Andrew Docherty will give us a talk on the work of the Samaritans.
10th April 2025
