Sadly, the terrible war in Ukraine continues and the weapons are so often targeted on people's homes, so although the trauma of fleeing their country is awful, their fate had they remained would perhaps have been even worse.
The Order of St Lazarus internationally continues it's work to support those who have fled for their lives.
The Grand Priory of Great Britain has already sent £2,000 towards this effort and we are now holding a Charity Dinner to raise some more funds.
We will gather on the evening of Friday 15th July for Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament at the Chaplain General’s Church in Farington - St Catherine's, preceded by the granting of promotions, etc. An aperitif will be served in the Pope John Paul II Room and then the Grand Prior will host a Dinner at Farington Lodge.
Our guests of honour will be the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, Charles Hadcock and his wife, Camilla.
Any guests are most welcome to attend any and all events.
