The Ascension

Dear friends and parishioners

This Thursday the Church remembers the Ascension of Our Lord into heaven. The obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holidays is still lifted, and attendance on a day other than Sunday is seen as equivalent. In a similar way, please note that the Mass on Wednesday at St Paul’s will also be a Mass for the Ascension.

Our Lady

Our Lady

Dear friends and parishioners

We are already at the month of May the month of Our Lady, and maybe wondering where 2021 has gone. Let’s use this month to help us renew our devotion to Mary. We call her Mother of the Church, so let’s commend ourselves, our families and loved ones, our parishes and our world to her maternal protection.

I know my own and my own know me

Dear friends and parishioners

In this Sunday’s Gospel Jesus says “I know my own and my own know me”.
Do we feel comfortable that Jesus knows us through and through?
Equally, on our journey of faith together, do we truly feel able to say that we know Jesus through and through?
Let’s pray that we may come to know Him at least a little as well as he knows each and every one of us!
