Fr Keith Writes...

November 6, 2025

Ι am away from Wednesday 19th November until Thursday 27th November.

Ι am away from Wednesday 19th November until Thursday 27th November. There will be no Mass on Wednesdays 19th or 26th November. The weekend Masses on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November will be as normal, but without Confessions beforehand. I am grateful to Fr Allan Davies-Hale for supply.


During my absence, Fr Matthew Roche-Saunders will cover emergencies only. By 'emergencies', we mean danger of death, i.e. Last Rites. You can contact Fr Matt on matthew.roche-saunders@rcadc.org. My thanks to Fr Matt.


If you wish to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation between now and Monday 17th November, please come to Confession at the usual time slots on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings.


For the Sacrament of the Sick, please see me afterwards.


Thank you, Fr Keith.

Altar Servers

November 6, 2025
The Parish is in need of people to serve at the weekend Masses as we now only have 4 regulars and Emma is the first new server for some years. As Caru shows you do not need to be a school child to be a server and we are aware that there are a number of ex-servers who are still regular attenders at Mass. With Deacon Steve taking a step back that will often leave Fr Keith on his own on Sunday mornings. If you are interested please speak to Fr Keith or Deacon Steve

What are those white signs on the pews?

October 23, 2025
When you come to Mass this weekend you may spot these new signs on the shelf in front of your pew. They are small welcome notices for all visitors to the parish, with a QR code they can scan if they would like to make a donation. Please be assured: if you are already a regular donor, you are also welcome but we don’t expect an extra gift!
