JOURNEY IN FAITH

Our sessions have now been suspended for the holiday period. We will begin again in September. Details will be posted in the Newsletter in due course.

SUMMER MASS TIMES

Starting next Sunday 18th July and each Sunday afterwards in July & August, the Sunday Masses will be combined into one at 10.00am. The holiday period normally finds many people enjoying well-deserved holidays and weekends away. This will mean that instead of two partially full Masses we shall celebrate one Mass with a full congregation, and give you all an opportunity to see the strange faces of fellow parishioners.

SUMMER STRAWBERRY & CREAM HIGH TEA

The Ladies Group are presenting a wonderful strawberry tea next Saturday between 3 and 5 pm in the new Parish Hall. Cakes, Sandwiches and scones will be accompanied by oodles of strawberries and lashings of fresh cream, but don't worry, Weightwatchers will be in the Hall on Tuesday evening; and Slimming World on Monday morning !Tickets are £5 each. All profits to go to the imrpovement work around and approaching the Parish Centre.

HEALING SERVICE - Fr John Rea

On Wenesday evening (28th July) at 7.30pm Fr John Rea a Marist priest from New Zealand wil be here to lead a Healing Service. Fr John is 82 years of age, and has a wonderful gift from God in bringing God's healing love to those in need. This week our Archdiocesan Pilgrimage is in Lourdes, and we felt that this would be a good opportunity, heaven sent !, for us to join our prayers and devotions with our Pilgrimas in Lourdes, to welcome Fr John and ask God to work in and through him. All are welcome.

Fr. Tom: Holidays
