First Holy Communion will take place on Saturday 19th May at 11:00am. We remember all our children and their families as they prepare for this great encounter with Christ.

The First Holy Communion children have been participating in the parish-based programme
'Do this in memory'. The final Mass in the programme takes place on the feast of Corpus Christi, Sunday 10th of June.  As a faith community we encourage all the children and their families to attend this last Sunday of the programme, bearing in mind that your child's second communion is just as important (if not more) than their first communion.

  Dates to Remember:
Saturday 19th May - First Holy Communion 11:00am
Sunday 10th June - Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi)

immaculate_conception Novena in honour of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal: takes place each Monday evening at 7:30pm. Why not make a special effort this month of may to attend the novena.

“May is Our Lady’s month with all its lovely days.
May is sweet and heavenly just like Our Lady’s ways.”  by Elywn Phyl
(taken from www.catholicfire.blogspot.com)

This May you are invited to honour Our Lady in a special way by erecting a May altar.

May is a special time in the church calendar when Catholics honour Mary, the mother of Jesus.  The month of May is a time to look forward to better weather and enjoy the flowers and plants which are starting to bloom.  This is a good time to create a small altar at home, to pay tribute to Mary.

Resources for Our Lady’s May altar are available on www.mayaltar.com – the brochure can be downloaded

Continuing with the great success of the Stations, you are invited to attend this special prayer in these spring and early summer weeks leading to the Feast of Pentecost, when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Evening Prayer is celebrated in the evening when the day is drawing to a close, so that 'we may give thanks for what has been given us during the day, or for the things we have done during it'.
