This 4th and last week of Advent we focus on Mary, the Mother of Jesus. As we approach Christmas we remember the mothers of the world who face difficult and challenging choices in their lives. We pray especially for those who have lost children because of illness, violence or conflict. We ask God to give them hope and consolation through our prayers.
Training of new Altar Servers for those who have already made their First Holy Communion. Dates on Saturday mornings are: 10th, 17th, December 2016 and 12th, 19th January 2017 - all at 11.00am. Many thanks to D e n y s H y d e who maintains our parish website and keeps all the recent news and happenings up to date. Do please draw other people’s attention to it as it will have all the times etc for relevant events over the festive season.
The present equipment is now over 10 years old and sometimes problematic so we have to renew the amplifiers and installation this week at a cost of £9,000 approx. We may have to celebrate Mass in the hall on Tuesday and Wednesday. If anyone feels inclined to sponsor this item – we will be glad to hear from you!
