Advent Reconciliation Service
Tuesday 2nd December at 7pm

A number of priests will be present in church for an hour from 7pm on Tuesday 2nd December for Advent confessions.

A new book has been published offering a fresh look at two millennia of faith, power and community in Yorkshire.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament takes place on the first Saturday of each month from 4-4.50pm - an opportunity to spend some time with the Lord and, perhaps, to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation which is offered at the same time before the 5pm Mass. Next Saturday adoration is on 1st November.

The study will be Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance. Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul’s writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. This study examines many important themes that are still relevant in today’s Christian culture and society—the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the pre-eminence of grace in God’s plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare. Thank you to everyone who has signed up to join the Bible Study class, which is now full.

An International Mass and Luncheon, celebrating our diverse parish community took place at 11am on on Sunday, 5th October.
