Golden Jubilee Celebration
Thursday 8th December 2011
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
Bishop Malcolm McMahon OP came to celebrate Holy Mass to mark the patronal feast day of our parish and coincidentally the anniversary of the dedication of the church. The event began with Mass at 7pm with Father Philip McBrien, parish priest, Canon Colin Taylor, former parish priest, Canon Owen O'Neill of Market Harborough and Father Stephan Foster, parish priest of St Mary's South Wigston and Dean of Leicester East concelebrating. Other former parish priests; Father John Feeley, Father Adrian Chatterton and Father Bill Saunders, were unable to attend.
A congregation of about eighty parishioners gathered to hear the bishop preach about the feast day and to witness the handing over of a papal blessing to the parish. At the end of the Mass an honour board listing the parish priests since the foundation of the parish in 1961 was unveiled by the bishop.
A generous spread of refreshments had been prepared in the parish room by a group of parishioners, which was enjoyed by all.
