We celebrate this great feast on Tuesday. Candles will be blessed at Mass at 10am and there will be a special evening Mass in candlelight at 6pm.
On this day we remember the presentation of Jesus in the temple and Simeon taking him into his arms and recognising Jesus as the light of the nations. Join us for Mass in church or via the livestream. It is not enough to just oppose racism we need to end it.
The theme for this Racial Justice Sunday is ‘A Time to Act‘. Racial issues and inequalities were identified nationally and internationally in 2020 generating awareness, emotion and outrage. In light of this Racial Justice Sunday 2021 is particularly significant. Action is needed to further the cause of racial justice but what can we do? See the resources from the Bishops' Conference and ask yourself the question, "What can I do to promote racial justice in society?" Click here for more information. If you have a child that is ready to be baptised please contact Fr Alex or Fr Jonathan at the parish. We can try and plan some dates for the months ahead when we hope it will be easier for families to come together to celebrate the Sacrament. In the meantime we will be able to prepare you and your family for your child to receive the Sacrament. This Thursday evening we continue our journey together using the 3rd film of the Sycamore programme, a God who speaks at 7pm. Email the parish [email protected] to take part by Zoom.
