Celebrate 100 years with St Brendan's Sydenham
St Brendan’s, Sydenham, are holding a week of events this October to celebrate the centenary of their founding in 1925. The parish is one of the smallest in the diocese and was originally formed to serve new housing for the shipyard.
In 1963 the parish built a brand new church which infamously blew down in a storm just two years later! The current building now serves a vibrant church and community and part of the celebrations will be to look to the future with vision and expectation.
'To help us celebrate we would like to invite anyone in the area and especially those with a previous connection to the parish to join with us at our programme of events. These include:
A fun day from 12-2.00pm on Saturday 4 October
A special community history service with lunch at 11.30am on Sunday 5 October
Afternoon tea from 3-4.30pm on Saturday 11 October
The highly acclaimed ’Titanic’ play at 7.30pm on Saturday 11 October
The official 100th anniversary church service on Sunday 12 October at 11.30am
'We would especially love to see any past members or others with connection to the parish along to our 100th anniversary service on Sunday 12 October.'
