Happy Birthday to our parish priest, Fr Mark, who celebrated a significant year…yes, difficult to believe it….70! The children of the parish made a wonderful card and refreshments were had in the parish centre to mark this special occasion.
Fr Mark has had a year of celebrations which include 50 years with the Spiritan’s and 45 years ordained priest. Congratulations Fr Mark.

The social club committee would like to thank all the parishioners who have supported this years events so far, with your help we have been able to give the parish £2000 since December 2012.
Recent events included a music night in the Parish Centre where musicians of the parish took turns in creating the entertainment. Then came the free International Day where our magician John entertained and amazed parishioners with lots of close up magic. The Abba night was enjoyed by those who attended and £165 was raised for the parish. The pamper night was a huge success and our 5 therapists, who donated their time, were greatly appreciated and all who came had an enjoyable and relaxing evening. This event raised in excess of £550.
Please continue to sup-port your parish, share with the committee your ideas and lend a hand for an hour to help out at a forth coming event.
A great evening of entertainment! Elvis came to New Barnet in the form of “The Jon Burrows Experience” and seeing was believing! Well done to Andy Cummins, his family and the social club for organising this legendary event!
Whilst primarily a social event, any profits will be split equally between parish general funds and The Spiritans missionary project in Tanzania.
Our quiz night was a great success. As we began the evening, we were entertained by some very talented Irish dancers. The quiz had been well contested and the scores were very close. Our winning team is pictured below:
A big thank you to all of those who came to enjoy themselves and the dedicated members of the social club for organising the event. This event raised approximately £400 towards the hall rebuilding fund.
