DAVIDSON IS ONE OF THE LEAFY NEW DORMITORY SUBURBS WHICH DEVELOPED RAPIDLY IN THE 1960's IN THE CORRIDOR BEHIND THE NORTHERN BEACHES.

DAVIDSON WAS INITIALLY A PART OF MANLY PARISH BEFORE PASSING TO BALGOWLAH AND MANLY VALE IN 1929 AND 1952 RESPECTIVELY. FROM 1959 IT WAS A STATION OF FORESTVILLE PARISH WHO BUILT THE ORIGINAL CHURCH AND WAS DECLARED A PARISH IN 1975. IN JULY 2006 DAVIDSON WAS AMALGAMATED WITH ITS FORMER PARENT PARISH OF FORESTVILLE SO MAKING THE NEW PARISH OF FRENCHS FOREST.

THE FIRST DAVIDSON CHURCH WAS ERECTED IN THE EARLY 1970's FROM FORESTVILLE PARISH. IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A SMALL CHURCH HALL USED FOR A BRIEF TIME ONLY UNTIL THE SECOND CHURCH WAS FINISHED DURING 1975. AFTERWARD IT SERVED AS A PARISH HALL TILL 1990 WHEN IT WAS DEMOLISHED TO ALLOW THE BUILDING OF THE PRESENT CHURCH.

A SECOND CHURCH WAS ERECTED TO COINCIDE WITH THE FOUNDING OF THE PARISH OF DAVIDSON IN 1975. MEANT TO MEET THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR A NEW PARISH CHURCH IT WAS, LIKE THE FIRST, ESSENTIALLY A MULTI-PURPOSE HALL (ABOVE). ALTHOUGH IT WAS REPLACED AS THE CHURCH IN 1990 IT IS USED BY THE PARISH AS THE FR PADDY GILLIC PARISH COMMUNITY HALL NAMED AFTER THE FIRST PARISH PRIEST

IT WAS IN 1976 THAT A SMALLER BUILDING WAS PUT UP OUT IN FRONT OF THE SECOND CHURCH AS A SCHOOL OF RELIGION AND FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS AN INTERIM PRESBYTERY. IN 1990 THE NEW THIRD CHURCH WAS ADDED ONTO THE BUILDING WHICH NOW SERVES AS THE FOYER OF THE CHURCH AND ALSO THE LOCATION OF THE CHAPEL OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. THE ACTUAL CHURCH IS SEEN IN THE PHOTO ABOVE AT THE BACK WITH THE GLASSED WALL. AN ATTRACTIVE COVERED PORCH WAS BUILT OVER THE FRONT DOOR OF THE CHURCH. ATAA THE BACK CAN BE GLIMPSED THE ROOF CROSS ABOVE THE CHURCH PROPER. OVERALL IT IS A PARTICULARLY APPEALING SUBURBAN CHURCH.

THE AIRY CHURCH INTERIOR IS FILLED WITH LIGHT FROM THE TWO GLASS WALLS AT EITHER END. IN KEEPING WITH THE CURRENT LITURGICAL ETHOS THE PEWS ARE POSITIONED SO TO EMBRACE THE CHANCEL. THE ELEGANT AND SIMPLE SANCTUARY HAS A MARBLE ALTAR WITH MATCHING LECTERN SET TO THE SIDES AND A CELEBRANT'S CHAIR. AN ATTRACTIVE CRUCIFIX ADORNS THE PLAIN WALL. OVERALL IT IS A MOST ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF A POST VATICAN II STYLE OF CHURCH INTERIOR.

FORESTVILLE, AS THE NAME IMPLIES, WAS ONE OF THE SUBURBS WHICH GREW UP IN THE CORRIDOR BETWEEN THE PENINSULA AND NORTH SHORE WHICH TODAY IS AN ATTRACTIVE BUSHLAND SUBURB IN SYDNEY'S NORTH POPULAR WITH YOUNG FAMILIES AND RETIREES.

FORESTVILLE FORMED PART OF THE ORIGINAL MANLY PARISH ESTABLISHED IN 1876. IN 1929 IT PASSED TO BALGOWLAH AND LATER MANLY VALE IN 1952. IT WAS DURING THIS PERIOD THAT A STATION CHURCH WAS FIRST ERECTED IN FORESTVILLE. SEVEN YEARS LATER FORESTVILLE WAS ESTABLISHED A PARISH IN ITS OWN RIGHT. WITH THE DECLINE IN PRIESTLY VOCATIONS IN THE LATER YEARS OF THE 20th CENTURY FORESTVILLE WAS TWINNED WITH ITS FORMER STATION OF DAVIDSON IN 2003. SUBSEQUENTLY THE TWO WERE RE-AMALGAMATED INTO THE NEW PARISH OF FRENCHS FOREST ON JULY 1st 2006.

IN 1958 FR O'BYRNE, PARISH PRIEST OF MANLY VALE, HAD A SMALL STATION CHURCH CONSTRUCTED ON WARRINGAH ROAD ( IT LATER BECAME ANGEL PLACE ) FOR THE USE OF FORESTVILLE CATHOLICS (BELOW). THIS CHURCH BECAME THE PARISH CHURCH IN 1959 AND SERVED UNTIL 1967. BUILT TO HOLD 300 PEOPLE IT BECAME CLEAR THE CHURCH WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE FAST GROWING POPULATION OF FORESTVILLE AND IT WAS SOON REPLACED. LATER THE BUILDING WAS USED AS THE INFANTS SCHOOL AND THEN SOLD. THE OLD CHURCH IS NOW THE FORESTVILLE MONTESSORI SCHOOL (RIGHT).

WHEN THE PARISH WAS FORMED IN 1959 THE SITE OF THE CHURCH ON WARRINGAH ROAD SOON PROVED INADEQUATE FOR THE PARISH INFRASTRUCTURE. TO OVERCOME THIS A LARGE SITE WAS BOUGHT ON CURRIE ROAD AND IT WAS HERE THAT THE NEW PARISH SCHOOL WAS BUILT. WHEN THE TIME CAME TO BUILD A LARGER CHURCH IN 1967 THIS WAS THE SITE CHOSEN. IT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO USE THE CHURCH AS A SCHOOL DURING THE WEEK AND AN EXTRA CHURCH ON SUNDAYS BUT THIS WAS VETOED BY CARDINAL GILROY. THE BUILDING COMPLETED IN 1967 WAS THEREFORE USED PURELY AS A CHURCH. LIKE THE FIRST IT WAS A HALL LIKE STRUCTURE WITH A PITCHED ROOF AND A HIGH CROSS ATTACHED TO THE GABLE, AND WAS USED AS THE PARISH CHURCH UNTIL 1996 WHEN THE PRESENT CHURCH WAS BUILT NEXT TO IT. TODAY FORTY YEARS ON FROM ITS OPENING IT CONTINUES ITS SERVICE TO THE CHURCH AS A PARISH AND SCHOOL HALL NOW RENAMED THE FATHER CLEM GAILY HALL.

AFTER NEARLY FORTY YEARS AS A PARISH IN 1996 FORESTVILLE SET ABOUT BUILDING ITS FIRST PURPOSE-BUILT CHURCH (ABOVE). THIS IMPRESSIVE CHURCH IS SET IN LOVELY GROUNDS AND COMBINES A SENSE OF TRADITION WITH A MODERN APPROACH TO ITS MATERIALS AND ARCHITECTURE. THE BUILDING IS A CONSTRUCTED IN A BASIC SQUARE SHAPE IN KEEPING WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE POST VATICAN II LITURGICAL ETHOS WHILE RETAINING A TRUE ECCLESIASTICAL APPEARANCE. THE CHURCH ALSO HAS AN IMPRESSIVE DRIVE-IN ENTRANCE PORCH AND A PLAIN METAL ROOF CROSS. IN BUILDING THIS CHURCH THE PARISH CAN BE TRULY SAID TO HAVE COME OF AGE.

THE INTERIOR IS LIGHT AND AIRY WITH AN OPEN-PLAN SANCTUARY WHICH REFLECTS CURRENT LITURGICAL IDEAS. TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF THE MAIN ALTAR AREA ARE THE BYZANTINE-STYLE CRUCIFIX AND THE TABERNACLE. LARGE WINDOWS OF PLAIN GLASS ENSURE GOOD LIGHTING TO THE SANCTUARY AREA. AN UNUSUAL FEATURE CONSISTS OF THE THREE BRASS PANELS BEHIND THE ALTAR WHICH SHOW FORTH A STYLISED RENDITION OF THE CROSS (vvvv).

PARISH CHURCH OF ST ANTHONY IN THE FIELDS, TERREY HILLS

UNTIL THE POST-WAR PERIOD TERREY HILLS WAS AN ISOLATED RURAL ENCLAVE IN THE NORTH OF SYDNEY, AN AREA OF SMALL FARMS AND WEATHERBOARD HOMES WHERE IT WAS SAID CHICKENS OUTNUMBERED HUMAN BEINGS. IN 1955 HOWEVER TERREY HILLS WAS REZONED RESIDENTIAL AND THE POPULATION OF THE NEW AREA SOON BEGAN TO GROW WITH AN INFLUX OF YOUNG FAMILIES. TODAY THIS FAMILY ORIENTATION IS STILL A MAJOR ATTRACTION OF AN AREA WHICH HAS GROWN INTO A LEAFY DORMITORY SUBURB THAT TAKES REAL PRIDE IN ITS PRISTINE BUSHLAND SETTING.

THE CATHOLIC HISTORY OF TERREY HILLS REACHES BACK TO 1958 WHEN FATHER SOBB, PARISH PRIEST OF NARRABEEEN, CELEBRATED THE FIRST MASS IN THE COMMUNITY HALL. MASSES WERE SAID AT THIS LOCALE UNTIL THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FIRST CHURCH IN THE EARLY 1960's. THE PROVISION OF PRIESTS TO SAY MASS HOWEVER WAS A PROBLEM FOR THE LITTLE CHURCH WHO RELIED ON THE JESUITS OF CANISIUS COLLEGE. WHEN THESE MOVED TO MELBOURNE IN 1969 THE PARISHIONERS MADE AN APPROACH TO THE PASSIONISTS AT ST IVES WHO WITH ARCHDIOCESAN AGREEMENT ACCEPTED THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CHURCH. TERREY HILLS BECAME A PARISH IN ITS OWN RIGHT IN 1972 AND OVER THE NEXT THIRTY YEARS THE PASSIONISTS FAITHFULLY SERVED ITS PASTORAL NEEDS. ALONG THE WAY THE PASSIONIST FAMILY GROUPS MOVEMENT LATER TO BE A WORLD-WIDE PHENOMENON WAS FOUNDED BY THE PASSIONIST FATHER, PETER McGRATH PP. IN FEBRUARY 2005 THE PASSIONISTS WERE WITHDRAWN FROM THE PARISH AND A DIOCESAN PRIEST WAS PLACED IN CHARGE. IN 2008 TERREY HILLS WAS AMALGMATED WITH FRENCHS FOREST PARISH.

FIRST CHURCH

PARISH EMAIL

THE FIRST CHURCH, SEEN HERE IN A TAPESTRY DONE BY A LOCAL PARISHIONER, WAS CONSTRUCTED USING MATERIALS FROM A FORMER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN FAIRFIELD. THOUGH IT WAS INTENDED TO BE JUST A RECONSTRUCTION A CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES LED TO THE ADOPTION OF A PLAN BY JACK TORZILLO FOR A SIMPLE LITTLE CHURCH WITH A RECESSED FACADE AND TWO CROSS-LIKE STRUTS. THE CHURCH HAD HOWEVER A STILL DISTINCTLY RURAL AIR ABOUT IT DESPITE ITS BEING ERECTED AMID SYDNEY'S URBAN SPRAWL. THE CHURCH DESIGN FOCUSED ONLY ON THE MOST BASIC NEEDS OF THE FAITHFUL AS BEFITTED A YOUNG AND FOR THAT TIME STILL RELATIVELY POOR COMMUNITY. DURING THE EARLY PASSIONIST PERIOD PARISHIONER NUMBERS INCREASED RAPIDLY DUE TO THE GROWTH OF THE FAMILY GROUPS CONCEPT AND PLANS WERE UNDERTAKEN TO ENLARGE THE CHURCH INTO A MORE MODERN & FUNCTIONAL MULTI-USE PARISH FACILITY.

A MAJOR RESTRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH TOOK PLACE IN 1975 THOUGH THE FIRST CHURCH CAN STILL BE SEEN AS INCORPORATED WITHIN THE NEW CHURCH. IN CONFORMITY WITH THE SEMI-RURAL LOCATION THE CHURCH IS KNOWN AS ST ANTHONY IN THE FIELDS. HOWEVER UNLIKE ITS POPULAR ENGLISH COUNTERPART, ST MARTIN IN THE FIELDS IT REALLY IS SET IN THE MIDST OF FIELDS, SURROUNDED BY BUSH AND NATIVE TREES. A RUSTIC LEITMOTIF IS PRESERVED IN THE CHURCH SIGNS OF ROUGH-HEWN WOODEN POSTS. OVERALL THE CHURCH BREATHES THE ATMOSPHERE OF A TRULY ARCADIAN SERENITY

THE GREATLY ENLARGED CHURCH COMPRISES TWO MATCHED WINGS WHICH ARE JOINED BY A SEMI-CIRCULAR WALL RECALLING A MONASTIC CLOISTER. TO THE RIGHT CAN BE VIEWED THE OLD CHURCH BUILDING INCORPORATED IN THE NEW. THE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE TWO WINGS BECAME A NEW AUDITORIUM-LIKE NAVE WITH THE CHANCEL AT THE CENTRAL INTERSECTION.

A NOW EXPANDED CHURCH INTERIOR WAS SPACIOUS, MODERN AND QUITE COMFORTABLE BOTH IN ITS DESIGN AND MATERIAL. SEATS OF A MODERN INDIVIDUAL FORMAT IN PLACE OF THE TRADITIONAL PEWS ARE ARRANGED FAN-WISE AROUND THE SANCTUARY IN LINE WITH THE ETHOS OF DIRECT PARTICIPATION ENCOURAGED BY THE VERNACULAR NOVUS ORDO LITURGY.

THE SIMPLE STRUCTURAL LINES OF THE CHURCH DESIGN ARE CLEARLY EVIDENT IN THE ROOF TRUSSES AND THE PANELLING OF SANCTUARY AND ROOF. A SIMPLE SKYLIGHT DIRECTS LIGHT DOWN ONTO THE SANCTUARY. THE MODERN USE OF TECHNOLOGY TYPICAL OF THE FORWARD-THINKING STYLE OF THE PARISH IS EVIDENCED BY THE PRESENCE OF AN OVERHEAD PROJECTOR ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE BROAD OPEN-PLAN SANCTUARY.

THE SANCTUARY AREA ITSELF WITH ITS ATTRACTIVE WOOD PANELLING, ITS ORDINARY RUSTIC FURNISHINGS, AND ITS GENERAL AIR OF OPENNESS AND ACCESSIBILITY IS IN THE SPIRIT OF THOSE LITURGICAL IDEAS WHICH FLOURISHED DURING THE 70's & 80's.


THE FURNISHING OF THE SANCTUARY CONSISTS OF A PLAIN TABLE ALTAR WITH A WOODEN CRUCIFIX BEHIND IT. TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ALTAR IS A MATCHING AMBO. A PLASTIC CHAIR LIKE THE CONGREGATIONAL SEATS IS PROVIDED FOR THE CELEBRANT. THE ONE SPLASH OF COLOUR IS THE LARGE ATTRACTIVE AUMBREY-STYLE TABERNACLE INSERTED DIRECTLY IN THE BACK WALL OF THE SANCTUARY.

THE CHURCH AS PLANNED AND CONSTRUCTED IN 1975 IS ACTUALLY A WHOLE COMPLEX WHICH IS ORGANICALLY LINKED TOGETHER. BEHIND THE ACTUAL CHURCH ARE A SERIES OF OFFICES, A RESIDENCE FOR THE PRIEST, MEETING ROOMS AND ALSO A KITCHEN ENABLING THE SHARING OF BOTH A 'BITE' OR A 'CUPPA' BY THE PARISHIONERS.

THOUGH SEVERAL MODERN CHURCHES HAVE BEEN BUILT AS MULTI-USE COMPLEXES IN RECENT TIMES THERE IS ABOUT THE CHURCH OF ST ANTHONY MORE THAN JUST A HINT OF MONASTICAL COMMUNITY WHICH MAY OWE SOMETHING TO BOTH THE PASSIONIST CHARISM AND THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY WHICH HAS BEEN ENGENDERED IN THE PARISH THROUGH THEIR HISTORY AS A SMALL TIGHTLY-KNIT COMMUNITY. THE NEAT GARDENS WITH THEIR SMALL PIAZZAS AND THE CLOISTER LIKE COLONADE HELP THE IMPRESSION OF A CLOSE COMMUNITY UNITED TOGETHER FOR WORK AND WORSHIP OF GOD.

A PARTICULAR FEATURE OF THE CHURCH IS THE GARDENS WHICH PROVIDE THE SETTING FOR THE PAROCHIAL OFFICE AND MEETING ROOMS. THE GARDEN IS PLANNED TO SUIT THE ENVIRONMENT AND ARE GRACED BY SEVERAL NATIVE PLANTINGS. A MONASTIC SCHEME IS VERY NOTABLE HERE AMIDST THESE PLEASANT LAWNS OF THE GARDENS. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS AREA WAS ONCE A TANGLE OF WEED AND OVERGROWN BUSH.

THESE GARDENS ARE A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO REAL COMMITMENT AND WORK BY THE FAITHFUL OF THE PARISH. THE IMPRESSION IS ONE OF SERENITY APPROPRIATE TO THE HOUSE OF THE PRINCE OF PEACE. THE GARDENS STRONGLY ENHANCE THE CLOSE COMMUNAL ETHOS WITHIN THE PARISH - AN ETHOS ALSO EXPRESSED BY THE USE OF WHAT WAS TO BECOME THE UNOFFICIAL ANTHEM - 'FILL MY HOUSE UNTO THE FULLEST'.

AS AN AMALGAM OF TWO PARISHES FRENCHS FOREST HAS SEVERAL CATHOLIC BUILDINGS LOCATED IN BOTH FORESTVILLE AND DAVIDSON. AS THE OLDER OF THE TWO AND THE ORIGINAL PARISH CENTRE FORESTVILLE NATURALLY HAS THE BULK OF THESE. IN ADDITION TO THE PARISH CHURCH BOTH THE FIRST CHURCH (NOW THE FORESTVILLE MONTESSORI SCHOOL) AND THE SECOND CHURCH (NOW CALLED THE FR CLEM GAILY HALL) STILL EXIST. SINCE 1960 THERE HAVE BEEN THREE PARISH PRESBYTERIES, THE FIRST IN WOODSIDE GROVE AND THE SECOND IN CURRIE ROAD. THE PRESENT PRESBYTERY IS THE FIRST TO BE PURPOSE BUILT AND IS USED AS A PARISH OFFICE AND AS A RESIDENCE FOR THE ASSISTANT PRIEST. THE PARISH PRIMARY SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED BY THE BRIGIDINE SISTERS FROM ST IVES IN 1962. A FURTHER ADDITION MADE IN 1971 WAS THE PARISH COMMUNITY ROOM BUILT BY VOLUNTARY PARISH LABOUR. FORESTVILLE BUILT THE FIRST DAVIDSON CHURCH IN THE EARLY 1970's. IN 1975 WHEN DAVIDSON BECAME A PARISH A SECOND CHURCH WAS CONSTRUCTED WHICH LATER BECAME THE FATHER PADDY GILLIC PARISH COMMUNITY HALL. AS IN FORESTVILLE THE BRIGIDINES FROM ST IVES WERE ASKED TO ESTABLISH A PARISH SCHOOL IN 1980. IN 1976 THE 'SCHOOL OF RELIGION' WHICH NOW FORMS THE FOYER OF THE PRESENT CHURCH WAS ERECTED AND IN 1980 A MODERN NEW PRESBYTERY CURRENTLY USED BY THE PARISH PRIEST OF FRENCHS FOREST FOLLOWED. THE PARISH ALSO PLAYS HOST TO THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE PASSIONIST FAMILY GROUP MOVEMENT, GRACE COTTAGE, AND BETWEEN 2003 AND 2006 THE SUBURB OF BELROSE WHICH LIES WITHIN THE PARISH WAS THE HOME FOR A FEW YEARS OF THE PASSIONISTS WHO SERVED THE PARISH OF TERREY HILLS. THE LOCAL ST VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY ALSO MAINTAINS A RETAIL OUTLET IN FORESTVILLE. FROM 2008 TERREY HILLS WAS ADDED TO THE PARISH BUT BECAUSE OF ITS UNUSUAL DEVELOPMENT THE TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC COMPLEX WAS LACKING. INSTEAD THE HALLS, PRESBYTERY AND CHURCH WERE COMPRISED IN A SINGLE BUILDING.

WHEN THE PARISH OF DAVIDSON WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1975 AND FR PADDY GILLIC WAS APPOINTED AS THE FIRST PARISH PRIEST THERE WAS NO RESIDENCE AVAILABLE FOR HIM AND HE CONTINUED TO LIVE AT FORESTVILLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WITH THE COMPLETION OF THE 'SCHOOL OF RELIGION' IN 1976 FR GILLIC WAS ABLE SET UP HIS LIVING QUARTERS IN A PORTION OF THAT BUILDING UNTIL 1980 WHEN THE NEW PRESBYTERY WAS FINALLY COMPLETED. THE PRESBYTERY IS A PLAIN DOMESTIC BUILDING TYPICAL OF THE LATE 20th CENTURY SEPARATION OF THE PRIEST'S RESIDENCE AND CHURCH OFFICE AND TODAY IS USED BY THE CURRENT PARISH PRIEST AS HIS RESIDENCE.

INITIALLY FATHER GAILEY, THE FIRST PARISH PRIEST, LIVED AT THE PRIORY AT MANLY VALE AND LATER IN A CARAVAN AT THE REAR OF THE OLD CHURCH. IN 1960 A COTTAGE IN WOODSIDE GROVE BECAME THE FIRST PRESBYTERY TILL REPLACED IN 1962 BY THE SECOND AT 9 CURRIE ROAD. THIS ENABLED THE VARIOUS BUILDINGS OF THE PARISH COMPLEX TO SHARE A SINGLE SITE. THE NEW PRESBYTERY WAS NONETHELESS TOO SMALL FOR ITS MANY FUNCTIONS AND WAS REPLACED IN 1992 BY THE FIRST PURPOSE BUILT PRESBYTERY (<<<). IT IS USED TODAY AS A PARISH OFFICE. THE FORMER PRESBYTERY WAS LATER DEMOLISHED TO MAKE WAY FOR THE PRESENT CHURCH.

IN 1971 THE PARISH UNDERTOOK THE ERECTION OF A BRICK PARISH COMMUNITY ROOM AS A VOLUNTARY CHURCH BUILDING PROJECT BY THE PARISHIONERS. WHEN COMPLETED THIS ROOM BECAME A MUCH NEEDED MEETING ROOM FOR THE YOUTH OF THE PARISH. TODAY IT IS USED FOR VARIOUS PARISH MEETINGS. AS BEFITS ITS PURPOSE AND CONSTRUCTION THE BUILDING IS A VERY PLAIN STRUCTURE OF MODERN BRICK AND ALUMINIUM. IT IS EMININENTLY FUNCTIONAL IN TERMS OF BOTH USE AND UPKEEP AS THE BUILDERS HAD INTENDED.

INFORMATION ON FORESTVILLE FROM THE BOOKLET THE EVOLUTION AND HISTORY OF THE FORESTVILLE CATHOLIC CHURCH BY JACK FOX AND INFORMATION ON TERREY HILLS FROM THE SERIES 'FILL MY HOUSE' PRINTED IN THE THE TERREY-GRAPH AND PROVIDED BY BROTHER JEFF DALY, PROVINCIAL ARCHIVIST OF THE PASSIONISTS ARE HERE ACKNOWLEDGED WITH GRATITUDE. I WOULD LIKE TO ESPECIALLY THANK THE PARISH STAFF AT FRENCHS FOREST AND TERREY HILLS FOR THEIR GENEROUS HELP.
