Baptism of The Lord

Dear Friends,

A warm welcome to all Parishioners and visitors to mass this weekend.

Bishop Richard: As you already know he has been named as the next Archbishop of Westminster. So, for the moment he is in between and there will be a farewell mass at Arundel Cathedral at a date yet to be announced. Part of the fall out of this event is that the parish planning in this area is being put on hold as we do not have a Bishop at present. The new parish will not now take place until we have a bishop who will succeed Bishop Richard.

• The Inauguration Mass for the new canonical parish has been postponed so will not be taking place on the 2^nd It is anticipated that when a new Bishop is appointed a date for the Inauguration Mass will then be arranged
• Friday 6^th March 2026 at 12.00pm – Our Church will will be hosting the World Day of Prayer. This year prepared by the women of Nigeria. We will need a team of helpers. Please contact Mary Reynolds on 07754 933597 or marykreynolds49@gmail.com. Thank you
• If you give a mass Stipend by card reader then we would be grateful if you can still fill in a mass envelope and write on it that you have donated by the card reader. Thank you.

God Bless you all

Fr John
