The holy Season of Advent is only a few weeks from now. Many shops are already selling Advent Calendars that have nothing whatsoever to do with Advent! Dear Parents and Families, please give your children a real Advent Calendar which they can use right up to Christmas and the celebration of Our Lord’s birth. There is a good on-line Company that produces a range of real and beautiful Advent Calendars. Please see: Eden.co.uk Please find some real Advent Calendars for sale, in our Repository, in the porch of the church.

THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION - SUNDAY 7TH FEBRUARY 2027

By Webmaster • November 8, 2026
On Sunday 7th February 2027, Bishop Gerard will be joining us for our 10.30am holy Mass. During that holy Mass, Bishop Gerard will celebrate the great Sacrament of Confirmation for us. Please would anyone who has not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation in her or his life, speak with me. This is a great opportunity to receive the gifts of God’s Holy Spirit in this Sacrament. The Holy Spirit comes upon us to give us gifts, like Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Self-Control, Perseverance, Wisdom, Generosity, Humility and Courage and many more. These are the gifts that we all need to live real, adult, mature lives of Faith in this world. We will shortly begin a series of meetings to help those who will be preparing to receive this Sacrament. Please let know in the next few weeks if you would like to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday 7th February next year, when Bishop Gerard visits us.

BLESSING OF ANIMALS, TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF ST.FRANCIS OF ASSISI AND TO EVANGELISE

By Webmaster • November 2, 2026
Thank you to everyone who made the effort to pop into the Olde Forge Cafe, last Sunday morning, after holy Mass, to support this Evangelisation event in our parish. Last week, I received the following letter from a lady who travelled all the way from Kent to be with us: Dear Monsignor Malachy Thank you so much for inviting me yesterday to the Blessing of Pets service, which was really lovely. I attended with Riley. Also, your Parishioners were all very welcoming and very friendly. That’s an amazing little cafe connected to the church. Thank you so much for an amazing event. I may be back next year. Kind regards  Cathy
