Parish News for 18th Week in Ordinary Time

August 1, 2024 by James Elston in Weekly News

This Sunday is the 18th in Ordinary Time.  In the Gospel reading Jesus declares himself to be the Bread of Life. At every mass we receive his life in our Holy Communion through the bread of the altar. Coming to mass is literally to choose Life itself.

Music on Sunday

On Sunday morning the choir will sing the Little Organ Mass by Haydn and the Tantum Ergo by Vierne. 

Dedication Day Thanks

Thank you to all those who baked cakes, served tea, manned a stall and welcomed visitors at last Sunday’s Open Day, which was a very happy occasion with lots of new people in church. Thank you also Martin Kemp and the choir for the magnificent music at the Dedication Mass and Choral Evensong. Watch this space for the next Choral Evensong!


Flowers in Church
If you are able to help with flowers in church for Sundays at one of the shrines or in the sanctuary, please speak to Fr James. Offers of flowers for the Open Day are particularly welcome!

Monthly Requiem Mass
On the last Tuesday of every month the 6pm Mass will be offered as a Requiem for those in our Chantry Book. If you would like to have a departed loved one remembered at the altar at the monthly requiem please speak to Fr James. The next Requiem Mass will be on Tuesday 30th July.
