An Invitation: ‘Come and see’ Jesus said. Are you stressed, too busy, no time for yourself? Come and join us on Tuesdays 7 – 8 pm for Reflective Prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and allow Jesus to refresh you and restore your peace. He is waiting for you to come. A special time to pray in the Parish for the Parish.

Eucharistic Adoration: Do you feel that you should do something extra for Advent to prepare for Christmas? How about spending some time before the Blessed Sacrament speaking to the Lord. We could do with more people between 12 noon and 2 pm.

Parish Bookshop: Have you looked into your parish bookshop lately? This year there is an extra special display of Advent calendars, candles and Christmas books for children and adults. There are lovely gifts suitable for all ages to help bring home the real meaning of the season: an advent calendar to open each day, a Christmas story book – these can help your child to learn and love the real message of Christmas. Call in today and support your parish. The bookshop is open after Sunday Masses, and also on Fridays and Saturdays after 10 am Mass. Orders can be taken.
