Chalice with the Precious Blood for Holy Communion
Unfortunately for anyone with gluten/wheat intolerance, the reception of Holy Communion under the species of the Body of Christ (The Host) can have health side effects.
To facilitate anyone with gluten/wheat intolerance we now have separate “gluten-free” hosts which can be received, not from Eucharistic Ministers but from the Priest.
Weekly Eucharistic Adoration
We have Eucharistic Adoration every Friday for approximately one hour from 10:40 am (after 10:00 Mass) until 11:30 am.
All are welcome for quiet prayer.
Private Prayer
Church will be open for Private Prayer:
- Monday- Friday 10:40 am (Approx) to 12 Noon
- Saturday 10:40 am (Approx) to 11:00 am
Please use the main entrance to the Church
Morning and Evening Prayer
The Monday Evening Rosary takes place in the church every Monday evening at 6pm. Its main intention is to pray for the return to faith and practice of our children and grandchildren, something we’re all so conscious of nowadays. We also pray for other special intentions, and everyone is most welcome to send in their requests. Please join us! The time may be inconvenient for you, but isn’t that a small sacrifice to pay for such a vital intention?
Weekday Morning Rosary: After 10.00 am Mass each morning the Rosary is prayed by an ad-hoc group of parishioners at the back of the church. Anyone who would like to join in is very welcome.
Tuesday Morning Prayer Service
There is no Mass in the parish church on Tuesdays. Instead, we have a service provided by some of our Ministers of the Word and Ministers of the Eucharist. We are grateful to these volunteers for their willingness to provide this service. It has become a necessary but vital part of parish life.
The service consists of a penitential rite, reading of the word of God (scripture readings of the day), intercessory prayers and distribution of Holy Communion. No doubt, in future, we will need, and can expect to see further lay involvement in parish ministry.
Miraculous Medal Novena
Every Monday after 10.00 am Mass we have this short novena consisting of four special prayers and prayer for our own intentions.
