3rd April, Good Friday, 10.00am – Family Stations of the Cross for all.
3rd April, Good Friday Liturgy, 2.00pm – including the dramatised Gospel reading: – it would be great to have a good range of people, from across our various congregations, to read the ‘parts’ – please speak to the Vicar to be involved.

5th April, Easter Day – Said Mass at 8.00am
We are inviting you to bring hard-stemmed flowers (not daffodils) along to the Celebration Mass at 10.00am – to transform the Cross of Dereliction into the Cross of Resurrection… making such a beautiful image of our corporate Easter faith.
