St Anne’s Guild continues to thrive after seventy-seven years since being established on 17th February 1947, when 36 women met to form a Women’s Social Guild. Today membership remains buoyant at around 45 women and new members are always welcome. We start and end with prayers to our Patron, St. Anne, and then enjoy the syllabus topic of the day. During the year, members generously support donations to local charities. Come & join us on the first and third Tuesday of the month (September - April). Make New Friends …. Have Fun …. All Women are Welcome!”

Who are hcpt?
HCPT Group 138 have several parishioners of Our Lady & St Meddan's within their group. They are presently fundraising to take a group to Lourdes at Easter 2026. The recent Christmas Ceilidh raised £2000 which pays one child's fare as well as an afternoon activity for the group. (Each volunteer travelling with the group will pay their own fare) Watch out for their next fundraiser !!
HCPT is a nationwide Catholic charity that takes children and young people with disabilities and additional needs on a life-changing pilgrimage to Lourdes. It’s a joyful, faith-filled experience that brings together love, laughter, and community in a truly special way.
