THIS WEEK: Mass on Bank Holiday Monday at 11.00. The First Friday Mass and Healing Service will go ahead as usual , starting at 7.00pm. Fr Mark is away on retreat from Monday to Friday. NEXT SUNDAY we will have an Hour of Prayer at 3.00pm in honour of the Divine Mercy. As this is being written, on Holy Saturday morning, we still have the great Easter Vigil to come, but I would like, in anticipation, to thank everyone who is contributing their time and their talents to enhance our Holy Week celebrations. The choir have been a wonderful blessing to our celebrations; the decoration of the church, as you will see this evening is again a wonderful tribute to the care and creativity of our Flower Guild; the Readers have all given of their best. And haven’t the altar servers been brilliant!!! They are a great credit to their families and have really helped to bring dignity and reverence to our services. Well done to you all and heartfelt thanks!!
