Welcome

8th November 2026 - Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (Remembrance Sunday)

Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to parishioners and visitors on this the Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time and also Remembrance Sunday. This weekend we honour the many who gave their lives in the 1^st and 2^nd World Wars. A minute’s silence will be observed to begin each mass. It is good for all to remember the sacrifices made by prior generations to enable us to live in freedom and side by side with people from many countries on the face of the earth. Once we lose the identity of the nation we lose our values and our soul. At this time in history, it is good to remember the sacrifices made by generations before our time.
 
Please note that there are Funeral Masses this Wednesday 11^th November at 11.00 am for John Stevens RIP, and on Thursday, 12^th November at 2.00pm for Joan Currie RIP. Please avoid using the car park on these days. Thank you.
 
God Bless you All,

Fr John

Doors open at 7.00pm for a 7.30pm performance. From simple Gregorian chant and devotional polyphony to joyous and raucous festive songs (some of which are over 800 years old).

Parishioner survey

We had 69 questionnaires returned plus a number of verbal comments. Thank you to everybody who got involved in the process, and the return box for questionnaires is still in the church lobby if anybody wants to add their input. 64% of respondents wanted to see more social events. Around 50% of respondents asked for either talks about the church, bible study, or the opportunity to chat about our faith. 21 people who are not already involved in various church groups identified skills or interests that could be applied to the benefit of our community. 38% wanted some form of additional prayer groups. A similar number would like to see centralised access to information about our faith. Around 20% of people wanted to have an overview of special ministries, or training to help out in these ministries, or to be able to help Fr John in some other way. We will give more detailed feedback, via a separate summary sheet and a brief update after masses. While we are working on how to prioritise the requests and actions, one critical element is to have new volunteers to come forward and help out with ministries or other activities. Without additional volunteers we will not be able to make socials and other activities happen. Please do put your name forward via the presbytery or mass coordinators. We are always grateful for anybody who can make some time available for the parish.
