Our Parish Remembrance Mass will take place on

St Monica’s Church – Saturday 7th November at 7:30pm

St Benedict’s Church – Friday 13th November at 7:00pm

This special Mass is an opportunity for our entire parish community to come together in prayer, to remember our loved ones who have died, and to offer comfort and support to those who are grieving. We strongly encourage all parishioners to join us for this very special occasion, as we unite in faith and prayer, showing the bereaved families that they are not alone in their loss. By coming together, we can surround one another with love, compassion and the support of our parish family.

There will be a meeting for all parents/guardians of children due to receive the sacraments in Spring 2027 in St Benedict’s and St Monica’s Churchs. Information on the full year parish programme of events and the dates for the sacraments will be available at these meetings.
