Although I’m on the mend, I have to cancel morning Mass and evening Adoration this Friday, 6 February, because I’m not well enough. Apologies for any inconvenience.
The Adoration has been rescheduled to next Friday, 13 February.
Lenten meetings
We will host a Lenten series of five meetings in the parish hall, held on consecutive Thursday evenings at 7 pm, starting on February 19. Each session will last up to one hour and will feature a three-part video, followed by a sharing and discussion period after each part. While sessions are connected, they are also designed to be self-contained, so you can attend any individual meeting without needing to participate in the others. Please note that, due to the format, these meetings will be held in person only.
Youth Alpha Course
Following the success of our 2023 series, our parish will launch an all-new Youth Alpha Series on Friday, February 13, 2026, at 7 pm in the Church Hall. The series will continue on select Fridays thereafter.
WhatsApp Parish Channel
Unpredictable events, such as challenging weather or difficult road conditions, can arise unexpectedly. I recommend subscribing to the parish WhatsApp channel if you use the app. It is a one-way communication tool designed for short-notice, last-minute announcements, and your identity will remain anonymous.

Advent Meetings
We will hold a series of four meetings, each on a Thursday at 7 pm in the Small Parish Hall, during Advent, starting on 27 November. Each session consists of a 3-part video, followed by sharing and discussion, and lasts up to one hour in total. Due to the format, participation will be in-person only; however, we will provide a link each week for you to watch the specific video on your own if you prefer.
