Week beginning 9th September

God of Autumn days, give us your vision to see what we must allow to die within us, and what must ripen to a new awareness of the power and beauty of your harvesting, that our hearts may not grow cold or dead, but may burst, surprised, into new energy and life as our days grow shorter, colder and less defined.

Sr. Brenda Scholfield SMG

Welcome to our new priests, Canon Michael Cooke and Canon David Ryder

Dear Parishioners,

I am delighted that, some four months after my appointment as your new parish priest was announced, I am finally taking up this post. It is good to be here with you. As you also know, Canon David Ryder is your new assistant priest, resident at Ss Peter & Paul. Together we will support both communities and lead the process of amalgamating the parishes. An assistant priest is something of a luxury these days but is a necessity in this case because of the other duties I have as Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia (all of which I will explain in time). I am really looking forward to working with you in the years ahead.

Fr Michael

We are in need of volunteers in a number of areas but specifically we would like a volunteer with accountancy skills and also a few people to be responsible for counting the mass collections.

Younger parishioners are also invited to join our Altar Servers

Please see the priest after Mass or use our contact form.
