Come and join us at our Parish Mass at 10.30 a.m. tomorrow 1 February as we celebrate the feast of Candlemas, which marks the Jewish ritual Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary 40 days after giving birth, and also the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, when old Simeon holds the baby in his arms and recognises him as the 'light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel'. He also makes a dark prophecy, that Our Lady's soul will be pierced by a sword. This Sunday marks the very end of Epiphany as we turn towards Lent and Passiontide. We will light candles at the back of church and process into the nave at the beginning of Mass marking Christ's entry into his temple. All are welcome either in person or on the livestream.
