Letter from Fr Mark McManus 25th March |
Dear Parishioners of St Joseph's & St Charles, |
I bid you a happy feast day today, the solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. Please make an effort to celebrate the day somehow.
I wish all our mothers a festive day on Sunday and pray you may be blessed with joy in your motherhood. Our Masses this week are: Saturday, 26 March, at 5:00pm
Sunday, 27 March, at 8:45am & 10:00am Monday, 28 March, at 7:15am Sacramental preparation tomorrow
The next preparation for First Holy Communion will take place tomorrow at 9.30am to 12.00 noon on Saturday, 26 March, in St Joseph's school. Attendance at class is essential.
The first preparation session for the Sacrament of Confirmation will take place at 9.15 to 10.00am on Saturday, 26 March. Attendance at class is essential. Rising cases of Covid-19
I respectfully ask you to still take care while attending Mass with regard to face-coverings and I also ask that we please don’t crowd each other at Holy Communion or on exit. Most importantly, DO NOT come to church if you have any hint of a respiratory infection, sore throat or general Cold-like symptoms. Thank you.
Finally, here is this week's newsletter and intentions for prayer. The newsletter covers the next two weeks. Our Lady of Walsingham, pray for us. St Joseph, pray for us. St Charles Borromeo, pray for us. With my prayers, Rev. Mark McManus Parish Priest |
