Happy Birthday Fr. Robert

On November 2nd, both churches in the parish of Pope St John XXIII worked together to organise a celebration for the 70th birthday of Father Lasia.

Parishioners from both churches came together in Littleborough Cricket Club for his birthday celebration.

When Father Lasia arrived, he was greeted by everyone singing “For he’s a jolly good fellow - and so say all of us.”

The gathering was a complete surprise for Father Lasia.

Food was served during the evening, followed by entertainment from Jimmy Cricket, and songs from Jimmy’s wife May.

A special thank you speech was given by Father Lasia, who had really enjoyed his unexpected birthday celebration.

Birthday cake was distributed to everyone at the end of the evening.
