Parish re-instates flag of Saint George

The decorated artwork

Parish Priest Fr Philip Dyer-Perry writes: Here at Our Lady of the Rosary in Staines we are proud to live and work in England, and we are also rather fond of the St George's flag. It is such a beautiful national symbol.

So, when parishioners discovered that a large red cross had been painted by others on the side of the derelict building opposite our church, a small team decided to make the most of the opportunity. After all, the 'damage' had been done.

Our team removed some less relevant comments and decorated the cross with flowers, wildlife and a welcoming message to all who pass by on their way to the station.

While we don't expect this 'artwork' to last too long, we do hope that our message of love for all who live, work in, or visit our wonderful town is received in the spirit in which it is intended.

We also ask Network Rail to look kindly on this sympathetic tidying-up of their derelict and soon to be demolished building.

St George - Pray for us!
