Parishioners have been knitting scarves, hats and jumpers for the Christian refugees from Iraq, who are now in Jordan, awaiting to be resettled safely elsewhere. The children and their parents were delighted to receive these gifts just before Christmas, in time for the cold weather.
Bishop Mark ordains John Allan as a priest
Bishop of
Plymouth, Mark O'Toole visited the parish of Liskeard to carry out a solemn,
but beautiful, ordination before a packed congregation. Fr John Allan now
looks forward to serving in the capacity of a priest in Liskeard and the
surrounding parishes. The celebration was followed by a party in the town's
Public Hall, which was enjoyed by many members of the parish from Sclerder and
Liskeard.
Remembrance Day 11th November 2018
To mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice ending the 1st World War, parishioners recorded the names of family members and friends who had served in military conflicts on a poppy. Over 120 named poppies cascaded from the Altar in a very moving tribute.
The Parish laid a wreath to the fallen at Liskeard War Memorial after a solemn procession through the town, led by military personnel, local organisations and the Mayor.
