Our Diocesan Anniversary - New:

As we approach the 175th anniversary of
our foundation (29th September) we pray
that all the Baptised will be witnesses to
Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead.

Intercessions at Mass:

After the reader has offered the petition, e.g. “For the
Church: that the Faith of the Baptised will be renewed
through Christ’s mighty resurrection” there is a short
period of silence. It is in this silence that we offer our
own private prayers related to the particular petition.

Easter Friday, 25th April:

This not a day of abstinence from eating meat!

Prayers and Congratulations:

We extend to parishioner Pauline Cuddihy our prayers
and congratulations on her appointment as the new
Diocesan Director of Education for Northampton!

Intentions left on a petition slip are collectively
prayed for at the Rosary on Wednesday and Saturday.
Generic intentions form the basis of the Wednesday
Rosary. Mass is offered for these intentions and a
parishioner prays for every intention that is left.
