Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist will be re-commissioned at all
three Masses (choose whichever Mass you prefer)
At the 10.30am Mass, children and young people from the parish will
make their 1st Holy Communion – so it could be a bit of a squash in
Church!
On Monday (hopefully) work will begin on refurbishing of the organ at
St Mary’s. A substitute has been hired and will be placed in the Lady
Chapel for the duration of the work – so there will still be music!

weekend
