We are delighted to share that our campaign to provide new communion dishes for St Finian’s has been successfully completed! A heartfelt thank you to all 40 donors who contributed so generously and helped make this possible.

Since the pandemic, we have continued to use temporary individual communion cups for our weekly celebrations of Holy Communion. Our larger chalices had also deteriorated over time, and repairing them would have cost considerably more than purchasing new ones. It was therefore time to invest in new dishes to serve our church for years to come.

Thanks to the wonderful support of so many people, we were able to acquire new individual communion cups, two pouring chalices, bread plates and a pyx (a small container for the communion wafers) during the summer.

A particularly special moment came on Harvest Thanksgiving, when the new communion dishes were officially put into use for the first time. It was a joyful occasion, marking not only the beginning of a new chapter in our weekly worship but also the generosity, kindness and shared commitment that made it possible.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported the campaign. Every contribution made a difference, and the enthusiasm and generosity shown by our donors have been truly encouraging.

Thank you for helping us set the table at St Finian’s!
