Our Diocesan Anniversary - New:

As we approach the 175th anniversary of
our foundation (29th September) we pray
that all recently Baptised and Confirmed
will have hearts that are open to Christ.

Easter Collection: Fr Christopher and Fr Wayne
extend their appreciation to all who contributed to
this collection or who offered Easter cards and gifts!

Thank you to those who assisted in the Triduum
liturgies, especially Emma and Jimmy for the music,
and to those who prepared our Churches for Easter.

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 period
of silence for each of us to offer our private prayers.

In Our Lady of Walsingham Church at 10:30am:
• Wednesday, 7th May: Tea, coffee and simnel cake!
• Wednesday, 21st May: Tea, coffee and chocolate!
