Closure of Trinity

Dear Friends,

Once again, I’m sorry to say, we are facing a lockdown.

I’m sure we’ve all heard, or seen, or have had reported to us by now, the First Minister’s changes to the Tier 4 restrictions.

The Bishop has also confirmed and clarified that with immediate effect, Public Worship, including Mass, must cease for the time being. 

It pains all of us, I’m sure, to find ourselves in this situation once again.

Please know that I am still able to make arrangements for the pastoral care of the sick should it be needed.

Please feel free to contact me in the usual way if you need anything.

And please be assured of my prayers for you all during this time.

God Bless,

Fr Emmet

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Bishop Hugh has once again recorded a fine talk on the role of the Pope, and especially the current Pontiff, Pope Francis, in our Catholic life.

Part 1 is here and Part 2 follows it directly below.

 

 

 

All Saints

The Bishop has recorded a video for the Great Feast of All Saints. It’s well worth a watch as usual!

 

November Lists

November is the month we traditionally pray for all those who have gone before us, especially those we have known and loved, and those who have formed part of our community.

Below are links to November lists, one is MS Word format and the other PDF.

November List(PDF)

You can either download them, fill them in and send them back to me via email, or print them off and bring them to Mass with you the next time you come. We will place them at the Altar for all of our November Masses.

You can book for the All Souls Mass here: All Souls Mass

The Assumption of Mary

Our second Sunday back was marked by the celebration of the great Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady. This is also the Patronal Feast of our Diocese. Bishop Hugh has recorded a video catechesis on the Assumption which, as usual, is well worth a watch.
