Archbishop Cushley has suggested we pray the Memorare each day.

Along with our Holy Father Pope Francis, please pray for those for whom this has become a tragedy. Don’t forget those in self-isolation, especially the elderly and vulnerable. Please reach out to them either by phone or social media; offer help, and let them know they are not forgotten. Remember all those in our medical profession, doctors, nurses, support workers and care workers who are in the front line of our defence and treatment of the virus.

Please let us pray for one another as we face this unprecedented and worrying time in the life of the Church.

Monsignor Tony

Baptisms are booked after consultation with the Parish Priest. They are celebrated during the Sunday Mass or at a separate service at a time suitable to the family and to the Parish. If you live outwith the Parish boundaries, you must obtain permission from your own Parish Priest before any arrangements can be confirmed.

Weddings: In accordance with Archdiocesan policy, a minimum period of six months notice must be given. This is to allow adequate time to ensure that a course of preparation is undertaken; to allow time to collate and complete the necessary paperwork for both the Church and civil authorities; to plan the wedding liturgy.
