This year it will be celebrated with a special mass presided over by the Parish Priest, Fr Gabriel Onoyima, who will unveil and bless the refurbished large crucifix located at the front of the church. The mass is at 6pm followed immediately by a celebratory social in the hall including a talk on the history of the crucifix and its refurbishment given by Deacon Barry and Paul Smye Rumsby and Christopher Quinn respectively.
X PARISH MASS STREAMING – To watch the Mass online, you need to go to the parish website: https://catholic-folkestone.blogspot.com. Once there, click on the Parish Mass Streaming tab. Please note that the Bishops of England and Wales have decreed ‘Virtual viewing’ of Mass does not fulfil the Sunday Obligation. The streaming is for the sick housebound and people in care homes and hospitals.
X CHURCH FIRE SAFETY – May we please ask parents and guardians to supervise young children in their care during Mass. This is to prevent any risk of injury or fire around the lit votive candles in the Church. Thank you.
