Christmas Carol Concert 2025
Last night our parish gathered for a most beautiful evening of shared music and warm laughter: we sang Christmas carols with joyful voices, listened to moving seasonal readings that touched many hearts, and enjoyed fellowship and simple hospitality that gently lifted our spirits. The warmth of community, evident in every greeting and smile, made the night especially memorable — a true reflection of the joy and togetherness at St. Ambrose Barlow.
We also held the draw for the 200 Club and the Christmas Raffle, with many happy winners; a special thank you to Bernard Gagan, who organised the event. Bernard has been running our raffles for 50 years, and we cannot thank him enough for his tireless service to the parish — we are truly blessed to have him. His dedication across the decades has been an inspiring example of commitment and generosity.
Our parish is really feeling the spirit of Christmas, and the evening left many of us feeling hopeful, grateful, and united.
