Dear friends, 

I hope that each of you has managed to enjoy a joy filled Christmas so far. It has been a blessing to celebrate with the many who came to one of our services, and we continue to celebrate in the season of Christmas and its twelve days, this coming Sunday. Fr Jothi will celebrate and preach for us as we worship and adore the true and living God, the Word made flesh, who humbled himself to take on humanity, that he might redeem and save us.

I am delighted to share that Fr Sean makes his return to our flock this Tuesday 6th January after his well deserved sabbatical. I encourage all the faithful to join us for this Mass of the Epiphany, commemorating the arrival of the wise men who followed a star to visit the Christ child in Bethlehem, which begins at 7pm and will end with a glass of fizz to welcome Fr Sean back!


With every blessing,

Fr. Joshua, Curate
