The recent Quiz Night, held in the Dewsbury West Community Centre in Church Street, taxed our knowledge of all things Italian. Nobody knew a "Macaroni" was an 18th century Italian Dandy, but we all knew lasagne and tiramisu when we tasted it. Nearly £400 was raised for church funds.Look out for the next one!Oh, and the winning team was a little clergy-dominated.

Designed by James Eadie Reid our East window shows Christ in glory, surrounded by angels and seraphim with the faithful looking on. The same well-known artist and designer also designed our Lady Chapel window depicting the nativity of Our Lord."These are works of great beauty and sensitivity and invite us to reflect on the mysteries of our faith - that God becomes man in the Christchild and draws us into the life of heaven," says our parish priest, Fr George Spencer. A leaflet giving more details is available - see below. There will also be information about our unusual War Memorial featuring photographs of the 81 men who gave their lives in the Great War. The church will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. with light refreshments and free of charge. All welcome.
