Sacred Heart Parish, Battersea hosted a lively coffee morning recently to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Fr Gerry O'Shaughnessy SDB (pictured below) tells us how it went.

The event was part of the largest coffee morning in the world sponsored by M&S to gain funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. A huge number of home baked and bought cakes were brought in by parishioners and while it is wrong to single people out: the cakes of Sophie (one of our altar servers) and Sr Mary FMAwent very quickly!!

To date, we have raised £259.36, surpassing our £200 target; however, we hope that this will be the first of a regular coffee morning after weekday mass to complement the excellent hospitality already offered after Sunday masses and to help strengthen even further the existing community links.
