New Village Defibrillator Blessed

A very special Blessing took place on Saturday morning when the Vicar of Rogate Parish Edward Doyle blessed the new Rogate Village Defibrillator.

A small group gathered from amongst those who had helped so much to make this life saving idea, come to fruition to witness this very special act of faith.

Following the blessing for which Edward had found a prayer that had been especially written for just such a piece of medical equipment, our vicar never cesses to amaze us with what he can find and come up with when called upon!  Rogate Village storekeeper Ann Arnold, thanked Penny Croucher on behalf of the community, for all her hard work in campaigning for this life saving piece of equipment and said she looked forward to the forthcoming “first response life saver skills” evenings scheduled to start later in the Autumn.
