Have you thought about attending a weekday Mass? Would you like to do so but perhaps the times are not right? We would love to be able to help people to get to a weekday Mass and to a time of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The Spiritual Graces are amazing. Would a Mass earlier in the morning or an evening help? Let Fr Stephen know. Mrs Joanna Sanchez is our new Head Teacher at St Philip’s Catholic Primary School. Although she has already taken up her responsibilities at the start of this term there will be a formal Induction Mass on Sunday 1st March (NOT the 8th) at 9.30am.

Remember, too, Deacon Robin Farrow whom we hope will be ordained to the priesthood before too long. Jesus teaches with authority. He touches hearts and changes lives. An encounter with him can bring renewal and conversion. In exploring his dream for us, we seek to offer him everything that we are and everything we have. His words can really speak to our hearts and create exciting new beginnings. May he give us the courage and the graces we need to hold nothing back ...
