PARISHIONER FERGUS McDONALD SUMITS EVEREST

6/2/2019

Here is a story of a remarkable achievement, and although it appeared in the newsletter in December, I for one missed it and so am grateful to Rosaline Brothers for bringing it to our attention.

Rosaline comments...
'Climb every mountain’ says the song and a parishioner, Fergus McDonald certainly took this to heart and climbed and summited Everest.  Fellow parishioners took advantage of this feat to fund raise for CPG, raising £1120 at a celebratory evening. 
From the newsletter in December:
An enthralled audience at St. Edward’s hall enjoyed an illustrated presentation by Fergus McDonald, a parishioner, on his recent successful climb to the summit of Everest.  This was followed by a delicious Shared Supper.  The evening made a profit of £1,000 for the Catholic Parish of Guildford.  Fergus also spoke of the extreme poverty of the Nepalese, and generous parishioners donated £235 to the Nepal Youth Foundation, a charity which helps malnourished children in Nepal.  Thanks to the support of thebiggive.org.uk, this amount was doubled and with gift aid the amount received by the charity was £528.75. Our thanks to everyone who attended and helped to make the evening a resounding success both socially and financially.
