Dear parishioners,
This Sunday some of you lucky ones can take home a little tomato plant that we have grown in our garden. It would be nice if there is one for everybody in the audience, but we would need a bigger polytunnel to do that!
We rejoice with the four young adults who will receive Confirmation this Pentecost Sunday and Arthur who will be baptised at the 7.30pm Mass.
Come Holy Spirit!
Fr Niall
LIFE IN THE SPIRIT SEMINAR

However, we will also have a bonus session! On 27th May at7pm we will meet for praise and worship and sharing about the past seven weeks. We will also have tea and coffee that evening.
We look forward to seeing on Monday, 20th May.
All are welcome.
