Some events in the life of our Parish

Pilgrimage to Ladye Park 2019
Parishioners and friends made a pilgrimage to Ladye park - the site of the pre-Reformation Shrine of Our Lady of Liskeard now in private ownership. A copy of the icon now in our church, is seen in a niche in the wall which is one of the few remains of the shrine.

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.

John Allan's ordination as Deacon 2018

The Right Reverend Mark O'Toole, Bishop of Plymouth, ordained parishioner John Allan to the Diaconate at a beautiful Mass, followed by a celebration in the sunny garden. At the start of the service, John prostrates himself in humility and obedience to the will of God and to the service of His Church.

Parish Summer Fayre 2018

A happy event, on a glorious day in the garden of the church.

Essential supplies for the Christian refugees from Iraq 2018

Parishioners wrapped gifts of toiletries for Christian refugees from Iraq who have moved to safety in Jordan. These gifts were received with gratitude by the refugees, knowing that they have not been forgotten by fellow Christians in Liskeard. We work closely with the charity Parishes for Peace.
