Our Lady of the Plains Celebrates Two Events
Our Catholic Women's League (CWL) recently hosted 54 women from our parish and around the diocese for a Daffodil Day gathering. Guests enjoyed a delicious soup and savoury lunch, followed by a four round Fun Quiz. Everyone got into the spirit of the day by wearing a splash of yellow, with some going all out wearing bright yellow outfits, adding an extra layer of fun to the day. It was a wonderful day of faith, service, fellowship, and fun, raising $950 for the Cancer Society, a cause close to many hearts. Together we lived out our motto of ‘Faith and Service,’ with a generous portion of friendship and laughter.
The annual quiz night for our parish was recently held in Lincoln's St Patrick's church centre. The fundraising result of the evening was $900, a fantastic result. It will go a long way to help our newly resident family, refugees from Afghanistan. They are sponsored by our local St Vincent de Paul conference, having had a long and harrowing journey to get here. They are very happy to call New Zealand their home, and the money raised will go a long way to meeting the educational needs of their six children over the coming year.
