WORSHIP & PRAYER |
Our worship is rooted in the catholic heritage of the Church of England, seeking to inspire people to experience the goodness and love of God in their lives through the celebration of the Sacraments.
The Parish Mass, every Sunday at 10:30am, is our main act of worship. Mass is celebrated on weekdays as well, and we host a variety of others services, ranging from contemplative to informal.
Everyone will always find a warm welcome.

Upcoming Holy Days - Feasts & Solemnities
Every Sunday we celebrate the Day of Resurrection and gather for the Eucharist. We are also called to worship together on other days, dotted through the year, as we rehearse the story of our salvation in Jesus Christ and consecrate each year to him. These special days are a collection of feasts and solemnities (called Red Letter Days in former times) marking key moments in the life of Our Lord, Our Lady, and important saints.
Solemnities are days of greatest importance, and a few of these are also “Days of Obligation” (marked with *), meaning days in which we must attend worship.
Saturday 1 March - Saint David (Feast)
Wednesday 5 March - Ash Wednesday*
The holy season of Lent and our spiritual preparation for Easter begin today. At each Mass we are invited to receive ash on our heads as a sign of repentance.
Monday 17 March - Saint Patrick (Feast)
Wednesday 19 March - Saint Joseph (Solemnity)
Tuesday 25 March - The Annunciation of the Lord (Solemnity)
