St. Michael's Parish 
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 remains closed for some time longer. 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. – Fr. Michael
Welcome – to the Redemptorist Fathers who will celebrate Masses this weekend to introduce the forthcoming Triduum of Prayer in Holy Cross Church.
Altar Servers – we are blessed with a committed group of altar servers over the last year. We are very grateful to their parents and families who support them in this special ministry. We look forward to expanding the altar server team into the autumn.
Annual Remembrance Mass – for all those who have died from our parish over the last year will be celebrated on Monday 2nd November @ 7pm. They have gone no further than to God and God is very near.
Christian Meditation Group – A group of people from our Family of Parishes continue to meet on each Friday morning at 10.15am in the Parish Centre.
