Family Events and Celebrations
It is a privilege for the church community to host people when they come to celebrate and commemorate the important events of family and community life.
Whether you are wishing to celebrate the gift of new life through Baptism, or your marriage, to commend a loved one at the end of their life, or to commemorate or celebrate any event or achievement, you are most welcome to contact us about it.
Wherever you are on Life’s pilgrimage, we can assure you of our prayers.
Initially, please contact the Parish Priest.
Priest's Letter November 2026
From the Parish Priest
Dear Friends,
I am sure that many of you, like me, will be holding your head in your hand with despair at much of the news that we see on our screens and hear on our radios. The international situation seems to be spiralling downwards, and the actions and comments from many in authority seem designed to make the situation worse.
This affects our morale and our daily lives as costs increase and life becomes more difficult.
It is so easy to wrap ourselves up and hide from what is going on and wait for it all to be better. But in the month of November, we remember those who—in the life of both the Church and our nation—have lived and died for better times, demonstrating a hope for the future.
As we remember all the Saints of God who have lived the life of faith on All Saints’ Day, and those who have died in the line of duty in war on Remembrance Day, let us also remember that it is our calling to live and speak in the manner of Christ: demonstrating compassion to our neighbours, wherever they may be, and challenging evil.
May the lives of those who have gone before us be an example to us all.
With love and prayers,
Philip
