Mothers’ Union
Members from Leyland Deanery met together on a beautiful sunny evening, to
celebrate the annual Deanery Festival, at Holy Trinity Church Hoghton on
Wednesday 7th May. The guests included Mrs Marian
Whitehead, Diocesan President, Mrs Vivienne Goddard, Honorary Vice-
President, Mrs Parnal Rothwell, Diocesan Secretary, and Mrs Marjorie Holt
the Presiding Member of Chorley Deanery. During the
service, which included hymns and readings, The Right Rev Geoff Pearson
Bishop of Lancaster commissioned Father Nicholas Davis as Leyland Deanery
Chaplain. The Bishop also gave the address. The Vicar of Holy Trinity, Rev
David Dickinson conducted the service of Evensong; and the new Deanery
Chaplain led the prayers. The Branch Banners were
processed at the beginning of the service and afterwards they formed a
guard of honour along the pathway to the Church Hall where the members of
Hoghton Mothers’ The collection
from the service is to be donated to the Overseas fund. Our thanks go to
Enrolling Member Veronica Roper and her Branch for a successful and truly
memorable evening. Presiding Member . |
