Parish Life – Parish groups, choir and music groups are all returning after the summer break. We look forward to the Do This in Memory parish-based programme for the First Holy Communion children and their families and this year, we will have a number of Masses for the Confirmation candidates and their families as well. We continue to support the SMA Parish while it is closed for some time. As a parish, we continue to celebrate baptisms on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. We celebrate weddings regularly in the church. We gather as faith community to support those who have been bereaved at the time of a requiem Mass in the church. Our parish is alive in so many ways and we look forward to the autumn. In this Jubilee Year, we continue to be Pilgrims of Hope – Fr. Michael
