Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Friends,

            Fr John is away until the end of September, enjoying a well-deserved break. We warmly welcome Fr Peter Andrews to celebrate Mass here this weekend. Our grateful thanks to him for doing this as it means that Fr John can have a holiday, and we can still have Mass here. There will be liturgies this Monday 9^th to Friday 14^th September. A big thank you to those who are leading and assisting at them.
