Please pray for Sean Power and James Boyle who were ordained deacons on Saturday morning at Westminster Cathedral. They are candidates for the priesthood. Please also pray for Monsignor James Curry who is to be ordained as  auxiliary bishop of Westminster this Tuesday, 12 noon at the cathedral. All are welcome to the episcopal ordination. Please remember that our special Mass at New Southgate Cemetery Chapel will take place next Saturday morning, 22nd June, beginning at 11 am. The prayers at Waterfall Road cemetery will follow at 12.30 pm. Finally, please sign up for our Afternoon Tea if you would like to.

FR DAVID WRITES
Today is the Tenth Sunday of the Year, as we return once more to the season of Ordinary Time following Easter and the big feasts we have celebrated over these last few weeks. Today (Sunday) we bid a fond farewell to Father Johnson and send him off with our prayers and affection. He tells me he is already looking forward to visiting us next year!  Fr Andrew is also away this week, so please be gentle with me! Finally, I have completed six years (two terms) as Dean of Enfield which I think is long enough, so I am very pleased to hand over to Fr Daniel Humphreys, Parish Priest of Enfield Town, as the new dean. We wish him well, and I thank him for taking the reins!

Fr Jerome is leaving us to take up the position of parish priest at St John Vianney, West Green. On Saturday 11 November 2023, there was a mass and presentation to him in the church to thank Fr Jerome for his time, work and witness with us. He will be missed!

Mass Times

 

Steve Coleman was a parishioner at Our Lady of Lourdes from even before the church was built. With permission from his son, Peter Coleman, here are his memoirs of the founding of the parish and local life in the first half of the 20th century.
