Advent Penitential Service

  By

Our Advent Penitential Service will take place on Tuesday 16th
December at 7pm. As we continue our preparation for
Christmas, we follow the teaching of John the Baptist by seeking
forgiveness for our sins and failings, through the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. We will reflect together on the message of
Advent before making our personal confession and receiving
absolution.

Induction as a Parish Priest

  By

Fr.Christopher’s induction will be held on Wednesday 10th December 2025 with Holy Mass at 7:00pm. Its been many years since we had Induction of the Parish Priest. This is a very important moment in the life of the Parish to actually have a Parish Priest of Archdiocese rather then just Parochial Administrator.

Refreshments will be served after the Mass at the parish centre. You are all very welcome.

In preparation for this important parish event we require volunteers to undertake the following tasks:

1. Clean and Prepare in the afternoon. Meeting at 2:30pm in the Parish Centre Hall

2. Refreshments: please bring a plate of a cold food item for the Buffet Before Mass in the hall

If you are able to assist in any other way please contact Payal in the Parish Office Thank you.
