Parish Diary

Specific Events

Rosary: October is traditionally the month of the rosary. It will be prayed in church every Friday evening at 7.00pm throughout the month. Please come and join us for half-an-hour of communal prayer.

Memory Book: As part of the Diocesan Golden Jubilee celebrations there is a book in the church porch for parishioners to record their memories and thoughts about the parish.

Tahen Christmas Cards: Christmas Cards to send to our twin parish of St. Joseph’s, Tahen in Cambodia, are available until mid November in the porch for the usual price of £1.50 to cover costs including postage. Just choose a card, write it and apply one of the stickers with the traditional khymer greeting on, ensuring the picture is the correct way up, pop £1.50 in the tin and put the card in the ‘post box’ provided. We know from Bishop Kike and our other contacts in Tahen how important these are to the parishioners of St. Joseph’s, they treasure them throughout the year. Thank you, in anticipation for your continued support

Mass for the Sick: The 10.00am Mass on Saturday October 24th will include the sacrament of the anointing of the sick for those who would like to receive it. Those who wish to receive this sacrament are asked to sit in the front row. Please note that confessions may be a little late this day. Thank you.

St Walstan’s Lectio Divina Prayer Session: Our next sessions are 7pm in the Garden room on Thursday  29th October, then 12th November, continuing fortnightly.

All Souls Day: There will be two Masses at St Walstan’s on Monday November 2nd – 9.15am and 7.00pm. The evening Mass will be followed by the annual blessing of the graves.
