John Thompson and some members of his Ambulance Crew visited the Hospice today to check trolley access, ambulance access and to have a look around. We are very grateful for their support now and promise of support in the future from Houston Medical.
We were privileged to welcome Father Dom Gabrielle Paoloni, from San Benedetto Del Tronto, Marche, Italy, who following mass with members of his Parish, and a hospice presentation, very kindly donated 109 euros towards the Hospice.
We are very grateful for the financial support and promise of prayers for our project.
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of our Lady. The Mass was held in Agia Kyriaki. At this Mass 8 of our children made their 1st Holy Communion. A great Parish event indeed.

Following a presentation yesterday at the presbytery followed by a visit to the Hospice site we have been given a donation of EUR100,000 (one hundred thousand). The benefactors, who wish to remain anonymous were very impressed by what we have achieved to date, and were very interested to hear of our plans for the future. Whilst every donation is very important, be it EUR1 or EUR100,000, we would ask that you all remember our anonymous benefactors in your prayers.
This donation gives us a major boost, we will almost certainly be in a position to complete the major works required to open the Hospice i.e. lift, kitchen etc. If you visit the site you will see that all the terrace areas have been screeded ready to accept outside tiling, balustrades and patio and other doors, work on an extra internal staircase has started, we are rapidly progressing towards our goal of opening the Hospice next year.
