From September 2009 until the end of January 2010 our parish was fundraising to help a the parish of San Raniero in Civita di Bagno, one of the villages closest to the epicentre of the Italian earthquake in April 2009. Read about what we did to help by clicking here, or browse the photos below - these are the ones taken by Felicity & Malcolm Surridge when they first went to visit Civita di Bagno after the earthquake.
