Parish Mission: A meeting to look at the way forward following our very successful parish mission will be held in the Garden Room at 7.30pm (after the evening Mass) on Wednesday May 7th. Some of the COLW sisters will be joining us to answer any questions that may have arisen following the mission.

The Chosen: During the parish mission, Sr Camilla strongly recommended that we watch the series about Our Lord called ‘The Chosen’. I have obtained a copy of this and thought we could gather in the Garden Room to watch an episode or two each month. The first few meetings will be on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm (after the evening Mass) on the following dates: May 28, June 25, July 23, August 27, September 24, October 22, November 26.

DVD Evenings: We usually hold these in June but, following on from the parish mission, it has been decided instead this year to start watching the series called ‘The Chosen’, recommended by the COLW sisters. We will probably meet once a month, days and times to be announced soon.

Important Dates for This Year: In 2025 Confirmation Mass will be at 7.00pm on Monday, June 9th. There will be only one First Holy Communion Mass, on Sunday, June 22nd at 4.00pm.
