St Anthony of PaduaParishChurch at this time has no church business scheduled.  So the car park and ‘comfort’ facilities should be available to those parading at this location.

John W (RDG) hopefully, as usual, you can do the business with traffic cones.  Might I also ask that you make sure the church is locked up afterwards, Mary says that either she, or the caretaker, hope to be there about 21:00hrs.  Many thanks.
