Fr Sean writes...
Salve atque vale is a classic Latin phrase that translates to ‘hello and farewell’ or ‘greetings and goodbye’. It seems quite a good phrase to use this weekend as we have just said goodbye to Fr Frank and Fr Antony who have been spending a few weeks with us in the summer, and it only seems like yesterday when we were welcoming them! It is good for us to welcome priests from different parts of the world: it reminds us of the universal spread of our Catholic faith, and it challenges us to see faith through the perspective of other cultures and experiences. Both Fr Frank and Fr Antony bring a different outlook on Church life and priestly ministry. Fr Frank works in a parish in the Diocese of Ilorin in Western Nigeria – he and his people are often subject to vicious attacks from gangs of bandits. Fr Antony, as he continues his studies in Rome, has to study hard and support himself through various chaplaincies in the city, far from his family and friends in Kerala. Let’s keep both in our prayers and may their dedication and commitment inspire us to value our faith and the many opportunities we have to live it and express it!

Childrens Liturgy
On the First Sunday of every month, we celebrate a Children’s Mass and the children play an active part in this Mass. We especially welcome families with young children to this Mass.
On every other Sunday, during the 08:45 Mass on Sundays, children are invited to share in the enjoyment of the parish’s thriving Children’s Liturgy Group.
The group is run by parishioners (all of whom are DBS checked) and help is particularly welcomed from parents.
The Chidren’s liturgy has two groups:
- Pre First Holy Communion – for younger children who had not yet made their First Holy Communion.
- Post First Holy Communion – for children who have made their First Holy Communion but have not yet been confirmed.
