Parish Open Forum Sunday 20th July 12:15 in Church Postponed until September, after the report from the Diocesan Quinquennial Report has been received.


Praying with and For our Children 
Tuesday 16th September; Tuesday 21st October; Tuesday 18th November; Tuesday 16th December, there will be the first of what will hopefully be monthly prayer services focused upon the children of our parish. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to a child focused prayer service starting at 18:00. These monthly prayer sessions will help strengthen our family bond as a parish. The children will learn some simple prayers and a few simple songs as well as exploring a little bit of scripture. It is, in essence, the Liturgy of the Word for children, but we hope that parents, grandparents, and other adults will come and support by praying alongside the children.


Monthly Adoration Recommencing on Friday 22nd August 19:00-20:00 there will be a monthly time of Adoration before the blessed Sacrament concluding with night prayer and Benediction. In September, the timing will change to 18:00-19:00.
