AUTUMN FAYRE FOR CHARITY 2OO9
This SOCIAL/FUNDRAISING event on Saturday, 17th October was a resounding success. As a result the parish forwarded the rounded up figure of £1,OOO each to St Vincent's Support Centre and Saints Peter and Paul School where it will be spent wisely and well.
First Holy Communion 2010
Parents who wish to include their children in the preparation programme are invited to a meeting in Saints Peter and Paul School Hall on Tuesday, 29th September at 8.00 p.m. Parents of children not in our parish school should also attend to register their child for First Holy Communion. Children must be 8 years of age in June 2010. Once the classes begin latecomers cannot be facilitated for obvious reasons. They will be catered for in 2011. The text book 'I BELONG' was presented to each of the 37 possible candidates at the Parish Masses on Sunday, 18th October, 2010. First Communion Masses are fixed for Saturday, 19th and Sunday 2Oth June.

Saints Peter & Paul Parish Cricket Team:
Our parish cricket enthusiasts aim to recapture the glories of the past by contesting a few social friendly matches against other Church opposition during the summer. We are already invited to Ripon. The emphasis will be on the social/fun sphere where players' families and their supporters would also have a day out. If your parish want a game contact ... Gerard Moran on 01943 875658 or gmtheave@fsmail.net Five or six matches with opposition from far and wide have been confirmed. All we need now is your prayers and just a bit of luck. Gerard arranges squad meetings periodically for practice and bonding purposes.
So far this season the team played in Ripon, Tong, Homewood, Otley, Menston, Headingley and Harrogate. The venture has been a huge social success.
Following the success of the cricket team it is now hoped to form a parish football team when again the emphasis will be on the social dimension. Those interested should talk to Gerard Moran on the contact number above. The Saints Peter and Paul Team got the season off to an exciting start in losing 5-4 to the Guiseley Globetrotters. In a pulsating end to end game our scorers were Lee Rhodes 2, Kevin Gilks 1 and Jamie Hudson 1. It was a great afternoon and the emerging talented squad wish to thank their many loud and loyal supporters. Training continues each Wednesday at Guisely AFC all weather pitch from 9 p.m.-10 p.m. The thirty players in training give the selectors the proverbial welcome headache but all will get a chance to shine throughout the season.

One parishioner wrote "I met up with people I'd never spoken to before and it was most enjoyable" A special word of thanks to those who helped wash and clear up afterwards.
