Marking the Passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis

by

Following the sad news of the death of Pope Francis yesterday, arrangements are being made to allow people to pay their respects. Fr David has set up a small memorial next to our shrine to Our Lady at the back of the Church.  You are invited to come in and light a candle, say some prayers, or even add to the flowers.  The Church is open every weekday morning from 7.30am until after the morning Mass at 9.15am. Fr David will also be opening it after school time around 3pm on Thursday and Friday this week. A special Mass will be said on Friday evening at 7.00pm.

Archbishop John Wilson said Mass at St George’s Cathedral this afternoon. The whole service can be watched back on the diocesan youtube channel.

Planned Giving Drive

by

As you may know, the parish started a planned giving drive two weekends ago.  Next weekend will be the opportunity to fill out pledge forms for offertory giving and using your time and talents in support of the parish.  In the meantime, here are the leaflets that have been handed out at the Masses and the talk that Mike Whitaker gave after the homily last weekend.

Easter Vigil – Advance Notice

by

This year Easter Sunday is early, and also the day that the clocks go forward for summer. Therefore the clocks have not gone forward the night before so sunset is relatively early. We have decided to move the Vigil Mass to 7.00pm this year.
