Traditionally, the church celebrates the birthday of the Virgin Mary on September 8th, which gives us a wonderful reason to celebrate and reflect on her role as Jesus' mother, and mother to us all. Mary was a ground breaker, a person who opens the way before us in understanding the radical news of Jesus' love. She reminds us of the reality of his incarnation, and continues to be our mother in prayer and love.

We celebrate with a party mass, followed by birthday cake and tea and coffee, prosecco and time for chat and friendship. All are welcome. There is also the option for a chinese takeaway - please sign up at the back of church. The cost for this will be about £10 per head
