Events

Safe travels to Father Jim – he promises to remember everybody in his prayers while he is away. 

 The quickest weeks of the year are now over. Good luck to everybody starting school or moving up and for everybody heading back to class. Best wishes to our teaching, auxiliary and domestic staff teams that keep our great schools going!

It’s unfashionable to talk about the judgement. Today’s gospel reminds us that we are called to find fulfilment and salvation by being humble people of service – it’s this narrower road that leads to a fuller life!

As so often, the gospel turns the values of the world upside down! Followers of Jesus are invited to humility, openness and not seekers of power or the limelight!

The church is closed this week to be redecorated. Weekday Mass will move into the church hall. Please help keep things ticking over in the practical arrangements for each day. Thanks for your patience!

Jesus never promised that discipleship would be a bed of roses. Today Luke tells us clearly that following the Lord means sharing in his cross - every day!

Welcome to the Missionaries of Africa who are here to preach their Mission Appeal (delayed for almost two years because of Covid-19). The second collection will be taken up for them and their work. 

 A day to remember Mary, our patron, and to rejoice in her birth – remembering the saints, Anne and Joachim. 

Church painting will be completed and we will need a team to clean and reassemble the church. Please watch out for more information - thank you! 

Congratulations to Maria and Euan who will marry here at the Immaculate Conception. Every blessing for the future!

Thanks to everyone who came and made this a time of grace.
