IMPORTANT NOTICE

According to the new instructions by the House of Bishops, because of the joint efforts to contain the spreading of the corona virus, there is no longer public worship on Sundays. Nevertheless, now our church is open for private prayers. If visiting the church please observe distancing of at least two metres/six feet from anyone else.

But, please do not visit the Church if you are in an “at risk” group (for example, if you are over 70 or have an underlying health condition). We should also now be avoiding public transport for non-essential journeys, so please only visit the church if you have your own transport or are within walking distance.

Priests are encouraged to keep their daily prayer routine and Eucharist - which we do. We put these private services on our youtube/facebook/zoom channel. Our stream times as follows.

  • The feast of the Ascension marks the completion of our Lord’s redemptive work, and yet the story is not finished, as the risen Lord whose earthly appearances have ended, will come again. Ascension day prepares us for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Also, in the ascension of Christ, the Church sees a promise of where his followers will be. This week between Ascension and Pentecost is a time of prayer for the Holy Spirit that the Church might be prepared to receive the gifts of the Spirit

  • With this coming Sunday (6th Sunday of Easter), the church looks ahead to the coming of the Holy Spirit of love. ‘Declare this with a shout of joy: the Lord has redeemed his people, Alleluja!’ (Isa.48:20). Today we ask God to enable us to show in the way we live the life we celebrate with such joy. The readings of the Mass point to the very source of this life, the Holy Spirit who led Jesus Christ in his earthly ministry and whom he has shared with us his disciples. This is the Spirit who leads the churches towards our Heavenly Jerusalem, where Jesus, after his return to the Father, will prepare home, our lasting abode
  • On Tuesday from 7.15-8.30 pm: Bible Study Group on zoom. For login details ask Fr Joseph
 
  • Today, in the amazement of Easter Day, we are forced to realise, by this greatest Miracle of miracles, that Jesus is no longer dead! He is living and calling us to be his messengers to the unbelieving world.Let us celebrate the Christ who loves and saves us! Happy Easter!
 
  • The meaning of Lent. The colour of Lent is violet (purple), the colour of penitence and mourning. In Lent, we remember that through our baptism we died to sin and were raised to a new life in Christ. This penitential season transports us back to the moment of the fundamental break in our relationship with our Creator and therefore to the possibility of a fundamental healing in that relationship. We prepare for the celebration of Easter, the three sacred days of Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Day, the days of our Lord’s passion and resurrection.
 
  • Ordinary Time. The time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday and between the Day of Pentecost and the beginning of Advent are the two “green seasons”, so called from their liturgical colours. This long trek of “Ordinary Time”, the thirty-four weeks   which extend from now till the end of November and the start of Advent. This time is calling us to be people of hope, particularly hope in the next generation. The colour of hope and growth is green. Indeed, from now on we concentrate on the work which affects our future.
 
  • Epiphany. The word originally signalled a visit of a king to a city of his realm, especially when he showed himself publicly to the people. Epiphany means an appearance or manifestation of God. The Eucharist of the Epiphany proclaims the greatness of the Christ. Already the infant King begins to draw the whole world to himself. The three Magi represent the three races of humanity: Asian, African, and European. We are celebrating the revelation of Christ’s divinity to all humankind as the three kings are the representatives of the Gentile nations. Their gifts have symbolic meaning: gold for a king, incense for a God, myrrh for his burial. Epiphany, in the ordinary sense, is a sudden, intuitive perception of an essential meaning, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. Let the star which lead the three Magi reveal the Redeemer’s love to us in all the details of our daily lives!
  • The meaning of Advent. The name Advent comes from the Latin ‘Adventus’, ‘coming’, ‘approach’. We remember both the first coming of the Lord in his Incarnation, and his approaching return as risen Lord in all his heavenly splendour. In advent we can contemplate the completion of the work of redemption.  The purpose of advent is the rouse once again in the people of the Church the anticipation of the End, the great day of the Lord, and to bid them be prepared for it. The four Sundays of Advent before Christmas Day have a clear theme. The first Sunday focuses on the final times, the fulfilment of all things (‘eschatology’). The second and third both focus on the ministry of the forerunner, John the Baptist.  The fourth Sunday shows the events that prepared for Jesus’ birth. The liturgical colour throughout Advent is violet, symbolizing not penitence as it does in Lent but rather the royalty of the approaching King.
