PARISH NEWS…
BBC Radio Broadcast Notice The BBC will be recording the 6:30pm Vigil Mass on Saturday 25th April for broadcast on Sunday 26th April (after the 9:00am news). This is a wonderful opportunity for our parish community to be part of a radio broadcast, allowing those unable to attend in person to join in prayer from their homes. We warmly encourage parishioners to attend and participate in this special Mass, as your presence and responses will help create a truly prayerful and welcoming atmosphere for all those listening.
Please note: due to the recording requirements, all members of the congregation are kindly asked to be seated in the church by 6:00pm at the latest. This will ensure a smooth and uninterrupted start to the broadcast.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. We look forward to sharing this special occasion together.
