Dear parishioners and friends,
The Synod is up and running in our 3 Churches! Our team of Anne Reid, Simon Brockway, Tania Walsh, Pat Williams and Margaret Fegan have started to meet with the various groups within our parishes. This will continue into February, when all parishioners and anyone else interested will have the opportunity to take part in this, the biggest process the Catholic Church has ever undertaken – to listen, to share, to pray and so to plan the future of our Church. Don’t be left out – get involved when the opportunity comes!

Bidding prayers for the Baptism of our Lord (9 January 2022)
Priest: The Baptism of Jesus marks the beginning of his ministry to us and to all peoples, and therefore we come together with confidence, to put our petitions before the Lord.

We pray for the Church as it seeks to continue the work begun by Jesus. May the light of Jesus shine through our priests and lay people.. ….…pause…………..

We pray for Christians and for those of other faiths who are being persecuted for their beliefs. May people of faith lead the way to a better understanding of one another. ….…pause…………..
Lord hear us
We pray for the people struggling to provide for their families; thinking of families in areas of conflict such as Afghanistan, but also those closer to home who are concerned about the increasing costs of food and heating. . ….…pause…………..
Lord hear us

Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Dear parishioners and friends,
Welcome to 2022, and the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This marked the beginning of Our Lord’s three years of public ministry. We give thanks for our own Baptism, for our parents and godparents and all those who brought us to the Sacrament, for the church community where our Baptism was celebrated, and for the priest or minister who baptised us. May God bless them all!
Fr Matthew
