Daily mass is at the heart of our Benefice, sustaining us in word and sacrament as we go about our daily lives. In order to offer opportunities for more people to be present at these celebrations, we have made some changes to the weekday pattern, in particular introducing a second evening mass, to allow those who work during the day to have the opportunity to worship with us. The new pattern, including Sunday, is as follows:Sunday8.00 am: Said Mass at St Mary Magdalen's (except 2nd Sunday)9.30 am: Family Eucharist at St Andrew's11.00: Solemn Mass at St Mary Magdalen's (2nd Sunday: Family Celebration Mass)The Family Celebration Mass is aimed particularly at families, and includes crafts, prayer activities, and food.WeekdaysMondays in term time: School Mass at St Mary Magdalen's at 1.15 pmTuesdays: Sung Mass at St Peter's at 6.00 pmWednesdays: Eucharist at St Andrew's at 10.00 amThursdays: Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 5.30 pm, followed by Mass at 6.00 pm at St Mary Magdalen'sFridays: Mass at St Mary Magdalen's at 10.00 amMorning and Evening Prayer are normally said on weekdays as follows:Morning Prayer at 8.00 am at St Mary Magdalen'sEvening Prayer at 5.00 pm at St Andrew'sYouth Church at St Christopher'sThis takes place each 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesday during term time at St Christopher's School, Queen's Road West at 3.45 pm.
