Terrible Twos. You might not know this but if your little bundle of joy is driving you mad during Mass, the Annexe is open if you’d like a little respite. There is a speaker in there so you can hear Mass but you won’t be able to see the priest…thank Heaven for small mercies.
Seekers/ Enquires. Do you know of anyone interested in becoming a Catholic? Are you, or do you know, an adult who was baptised, but was never confirmed? Do you know of anyone who has stopped practicing their faith, but who may be persuaded to return? Are you a regular practicing Catholic who just wishes to understand their faith a bit better? If the answer is ‘Yes’ to any question, we are holding a series of ‘seekers’ meetings where any questions you may have can be asked and answered. All are welcome. The meetings will be in the Annexe at 7:30 pm on the following Tuesdays - 26th June and 10th July. Just turn up.
