St Mark's Annual Congregation Meeting - Agenda and Papers
Random Bits of History!
Here is a baptism certificate, from 1904, of the late Annie McCarthy. Annie's son, daughter in law, and grand-daughter are regular worshippers at St Mark's - following the family tradition. We recently showed this baptism certificate to some our current young people, after Annie's death at the age of 105. It was wonderful to be able to demonstrate to our current young folks that they belong to a very ancient tradition of worship in this parish!
