Christmas Eve dinner for the homeless

Date published: 27 December 2014


Around 100 homeless people were treated to three course meal at Christmas Eve dinner at St, Chad's (Rochdale Parish Church).

The Reverend Coleman said: "This was a great expression of what can be done when the communities and faiths work together.

"In my sermon today I am talking about the angels who bring heaven to earth; I met some Angels yesterday helping at the lunch.

"Thanks Ahmed Nadim, family and friends, Petrus, St Chad's and St Mary's and sister churches, so inspiring."
