Our October devotion begins on Wednesday 2^nd  October 2019 at 7.00pm with the Exposition of Blessed Sacrament, Rosary and Benediction. It holds every Monday and Wednesday.

 

Starting from this new academic year, (Sept. 2019—June 2020), and in agreement with the school authority, some of the Masses are now to be said in the school as already indicated in the schedule. Though still on experimental basis.

 

Mary’s Meals will be visiting our parish this weekend, 21^st and 22^nd September 2018. They will sell raffle tickets after all the Masses that weekend. Tickets cost £1 each. You can assist by donating any unwanted clothing (including belts/bags/shoes) or household textiles (including curtains/bedding/soft toys)—BUT NOT DUVETS OR PILLOWS. The van will collect textiles after the Sunday morning Masses only!

All welcome.
