On Saturday, 21^st January, as well as no midday Mass, there will also be no Adoration or morning confessions. Sunday and vigil Masses are as normal.

Please see the schedule for all Masses this week.

The Penitential Season of Lent will soon be upon us. Through prayer, fasting and almsgiving we seek to bring ourselves closer to the Lord. Ash Wednesday is this coming Wednesday 18^th February.

To help us in this Holy Season there are some ‘Walk With Me’ Booklets at the Piety Stall priced £1.50. They contain readings and reflections for each day of Lent.

The Stations of the Cross, as in previous years, will be prayed on the Fridays of Lent together with our Anglican friends. Like last year, we will alternate between our churches. This will begin on Friday 27^th February in St Andrew’s Church.

Remember in your prayers Ruth and Jordan who are to be married at St Anne’s on Tuesday 17^th February.

We wish them every blessing.

There will be a meeting of the Knights on Tuesday, 17^th February at 7:30pm in the Marian Room at St Anne’s.

All men of the parish are warmly invited to attend.

Fr Kris Aneke MSP, of the Missionary Society of St Paul (MSP), will make the mission appeals on the weekend of 21^st/22^nd February.

The MSP is a religious congregation working in different parts of the world, committed to spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ and the salvific work of God the Father in the Holy Spirit.

The MSP warmly invites you to support their mission appeal. There will be a SECOND COLLECTION at all Masses.

Fr Kris will also be celebrating the weekend Masses. I know you will make him welcome. Please be as generous as you can.

Our next meeting will be on Monday, 23^rd February. We will be going to the Tiger Lounge.

Meet on the church car park at 12:30pm for lunch at 1pm.
