Some people view Bingo as eyewateringly mind numbing but others, as an act of charity. And it was the latter that held sway on Friday evening at St Clare's Parish Hall when many parishioners, young and old, gathered to raise funds for Lourdes.
It was a prize bingo and the prizes were all donated via the 'Unwanted Christmas Gift Appeal!'
The fundraiser is part of the efforts to provide places for some of our young people to go to Lourdes this summer to help care for the sick. In this way the bingo was in direct relationship to our Lord's concern for the sick and his direction in the Sermon on the Mount (cf Mt. 5)
