Dear Friends,

We have a wonderful weekend ahead of us as our celebration of our Saviour’s birth draws ever nearer.

Our family Christingle Service is at 9.15 am, and we’re encouraging members of the congregation to bring a wrapped gift for a family in need, if you can. It will be a beautiful and memorable service for all ages.

We mark the final Sunday of Advent with our Masses at 8.00 am and 10.45 am (including cracking Advent hymns at 10.45).

Finally our Service of Lessons and Carols is at 6.30 pm, followed by wine and mince pies in church. It would be wonderful to see you in the morning and evening.

Looking ahead to the great days themselves, on Christmas Eve our family Crib Service is at 3.00 pm, followed by Bethlehem Midnight Mass at 10.00 pm. On Christmas Day, our High Mass is at the earlier time of 10.00 am.

This would be a great time to invite a friend!

Please note details in the pew sheet of our Christmas Appeal, and how to make a donation during a service or online. Thank you for your support.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas! And if you’re travelling, go with my prayers for a happy time and a safe return.

With my prayers and best wishes,
