Confirmation 2018

Posted

Last Tuesday Bishop John Wilson came to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to nine young people of the Parish. They are now fully received into the Catholic Church.

May I thank the Catechists, Pat Keane, Deacon Guido, and Emma Westby and Sophia Swinford from St Mary’s University. It was good to see so many servers come to assist at Mass. May I also thank all those who arranged the flowers, prepared the Hall and served at the reception after Mass.

Lastly may I record my thanks to Bishop John Wilson for coming to Confirm the Parish Candidates and for his support of this parish

Sunday lunch for the homeless

Posted

The Parish has now joined a group of churches that provide Sunday lunch for the homeless catering for 30-40 guest each Sunday.

As we were the last to join the only date in 2018 is Sunday 30th December.

I have accepted this date on behalf of the Parish hoping there will be approximately 15 volunteers to help set up tables, serve meals, wash up and talk to guests.

For 2019 we will expect to host lunch two or three times a year.
