Services this Week

On Sunday, 20 September, we celebrate the 17th Sunday after Pentecost. 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 the asperges, the sprinkling with holy water to remind us of our baptism. It will take about an hour. There is a sermon at both masses. There is a cup of tea in the hall after the 10 am mass.

There is mass every day except Monday.
