Update 5th May 2021: The Parish of Newtownards and Comber would like to express sincerest thanks for all your kindness and generosity. Your thoughtfulness will make such a difference and on so many different levels. Indeed your gifting spurred us on as we experienced the four seasons!! Once again, a heartfelt thanks. Every blessing, Fr. Martin.
A team of walkers from the Parish of Newtownards and Comber will be doing a sponsored walk on Monday 3rd Mary 2021. Father Martin O'Hagan, Deacon James McAllister, Gail Glover, her son Kailan and others, will be walking the coastal path between Bangor and Holywood and back. The money they raise will be divided between three worthy causes close to their hearts: Our Parish Church in Newtownards, St. Patrick's, is in the last stages of restoration and further funds are needed to pay the final bills, 50% of the sponsorship will go towards the restoration fund; The Foyle Hospice and The Marie Curie Hospice in Belfast have provided, and are providing, a loving palliative care service to many people in our Parish and our loved ones, the rest of the sponsorship will go to these wonderful charities.
