Services this Week
On Sunday, 17 May, we celebrate the Ascension. This feast commemorates the taking by Our Lord of his human body into heaven, completely what we call the great exchange – by taking our humanity and accepting it, and giving in return his divinity, our entrance into eternal life. There are two masses on Sunday: the 8 am mass, which is a simple said mass taking around 40 minutes; and the 10 am Solemn Sung Mass starting with a procession. It will take about an hour. There is a sermon at both masses.
There is mass every day except Monday.
