"Some of you will be wondering what has happened to the statue of St Anthony with the infant Jesus, that is usually situated by the little altar that contains the relic.

Sue Kaszuba took it home with the intention of restoring it. It became clear very quickly that there were so many bad cracks, plaster broken off, and even digits missing it would have to be done professionally.

Sue has applied to the Repair Shop as seen on BBC TV to have the statue restored.

It is almost 100 years old and needs careful handling.

Please everyone, pray to St Anthony that our application is successful and hopefully he will come back to us fully repaired and standing in his rightful place in our parish church."
