Friday 20th December Adoration and Confession

Unfortunately, due to illness, confession times have had to be reduced today. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Adoration is still 8am – 7pm but the updated confession times are as follows:

  • 8am – 10am
  • 11am – 12:15pm (and after the 12:30pm Mass)
  • 3pm – 4pm
  • 6pm – 7pm

Outside of these times, if you cannot wait, then you may try at the Church house next door by ringing the bell.

This past Sunday, the last before Advent begins, we celebrated the Solemnity of Christ the King with a sung Mass followed by a Eucharistic Procession around the local streets and finishing with Solemn Benediction.
