7/06/2026 [1] We celebrate the great Feast of the Eucharist, Corpus Christi or The Body and Blood of Christ. Jesus gives himself totally the the Father and to us in his sacrificial offering of His whole self on the Cross. In the Eucharist we enter into the fulness of that sacrifice so that nourished by His Body and Blood, we become Him, HIs Body, His loving of the world. NEVER STAY AWAY FROM THIS BANQUET, NEVER STARVE YOURSELF OF SUCH AN INFINITE AND INTIMATE LOVE.

Co-ordinated by Mary Hopper, catechists prepare our children for baptism, First Eucharist and First Reconciliation, our young people for Confirmation, and our parents for the baptism of their children. This is an essential ministry, the bedrock and foundations of members of our Faith Community now and into the future. WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE COMMUNITY TO OFFER THEMSELVES FOR THIS WORK OF FAITH FORMATION. Training and support will be provided – please contact Mary Hopper or Richard.

14/06/2026 We return to the Green Vestments symbol of Hope and growth as disciples of Christ. On the Eleventh Sunday of the Year A, we celebrate Jesus the shepherd who takes pity on the crowds and calls His Twelve Apostles to share HIs work of giving them hope and bringing them healing and freedom. As the ‘Catholic and Apostolic Church’ we are called to the same compassion as Jesus and the same mission of Hope and Healing as the Apostles. Will we be true to our calling as today’s apostles?
