X A WARM WELCOME – as you know our Catholic tradition is made up with ritual churches under the leadership of the Bishop of Rome – the Pope. Some of our parishioners belong to such ritual churches, and it is truly right that from time to time they can celebrate Mass using such rite.
It is in that context that I am giving a warm welcome to some of our parisioners who belong to the Syro-Malabar rite to start their monthly celebration in our parish – beginning 24th June 2022.
This group will celebrate in their rite and once a month they will meet to keep such vital connections to their roots.
X PARISH OFFICE HOURS – we will be open from 8.00am until 4.00pm on Mondays and Tuesdays and from 8.00am until 12.00 noon on Fridays. Any notices for the newsletter need to be with the office by noon on the Tuesday before the weekend of publication.
Please note that the Parish Office will not be open on Friday 24th June or Monday 27th June as the Parish Secretary is away on annual leave.
