Parish Mission: We were very pleased by the large attendance last Tuesday at the commissioning ceremony of those who have offered their homes for the Eucharistic Prayer meetings in the week prior to the Parish Mission, 20th to 24th March. On this coming Tuesday, 7th March, there will be two commissioning ceremonies at 8 pm, for those who have volunteered to deliver the brochures about the Mission to the homes, and for the Eucharistic Ministers who will bring the Blessed Sacrament to the homes for the Eucharistic Prayer meetings. All parishioners are welcome to come along. We need more volunteers to deliver the brochures. Keep up the spirit of preparation !

Readings for Lent: A range of Lenten material is now available from the Parish Bookshop – interesting booklets and pamphlets to suit all ages and price ranges. Many new titles. The bookshop is open after Masses on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Come and see – support your parish.
