Diocesan Vision

"To be a Catholic diocesan which is faithful to the mission entrusted to us by Jesus Christ, full of missionary desciples who work together co-responsibly in vibrant communities of faith, joyful in their service of God and neighbour."

​

The Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation

The Sacrament of Confession/Reconciliation is offered on Saturday mornings after Mass and evening from 5pm to 5:30pm. Also avaliable at other times by appointment.

​

Live Streaming of Masses

Please note that our parish live streams the Sun 9am Mass, and at other occasions on request, e.g. funerals. If you do not wish to be seen on the live stream, please avoid the first two pews closest to the altar and ask for Holy Communion to be brought to you.

​

The Piety Stall

The Piety Stall, located in the hall (right-hand serving hatch), is open after all Masses and has a full range of goods for sale, including Christmas cards, nativity scenes and other items.

Church Cleaning

Thank you to all who have agreed to join the Church cleaning team. We have 10 volunteers so far, but more would be welcome. You can still sign up via the form in the narthex. An initial meeting will be held on Tues 10th Dec at 10:30am in the hall to discuss future arrangements. See you there!

​

ACN (Aid to the Church in Need) Cards & Christmas Squares

ACN (Aid to the Church in Need) Christmas cards will be on sale for the next few Sundays leading up to Christmas at all Sunday Masses.

Christmas squares are available to buy for £5 every week up until the weekend of 15th Dec, when the draw will take place after the Carol Service.

​

Adoration - Friday 13th December

Family Ministry would like to invite everyone to Adoration on Fri 13th Dec from 6-6:30pm. It will be a wonderful opportunity to come together to pause and reflect in prayer with music, Scripture and silence, followed by confession.

​

Volunteer Forms

This is a final call for the completion and return of all remaining volunteer forms from Sue McGarry. Please return these important forms to the church or presbytery as soon as possible. Many thanks.

Praying the Angelus before Mass

In 2020 there was the plan for all parishes to join spiritually with the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Norfolk, where England would be solemnly re-dedicated to Our Lady as her Dowry, echoing a similar dedication made by King Richard II in 1381.  The re-dedication went ahead, but the country was in the
early stages of the first lockdown.  Following from this, there was the suggestion for parishes to pray the Angelus before Mass, which echoes the Annunciation to Our Lady, commemorated at the Walsingham shrine. More information can be found here.
