Feast of the Holy Family:  Friday 30th of December.
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God: Sunday 1st January 23. We will consecrate the Parish and our families to Our Blessed Mother at all Sunday Masses.
Solemnity of the Epiphany: Sunday 8th January.
 
Repairs/Renovations in Church/Hall/ Grounds: We have very recently changed the lighting around the Church and Hall, House, to LED, which will reduce our enormous electricity Bills. We have also changed the lighting on the Sanctuary and Oratory and entrances to LED lighting and now have new hand dryers in all the toilets. We have also installed Short Wave Infrared Heating that can be left on during Mass unlike the Fan Heating which is extremely noisy and distracting. The boiler in the hall and tea-room will have frost thermostats added to avoid a repeat of frozen pipes. Unfortunately, the tea-room had a burst pipe and will be out of commission for the foreseeable future.
