FR DAVID WRITES
Welcome to the summer holidays! I hope the end of term went well for everyone involved and that everyone is able to enjoy some rest and relaxation insofar as this is possible. Whether you are going away or staying at home, summer is a special time for everyone to experience a change in the usually frenetic way of life. I would like to thank everyone who sent me kind wishes, prayers and cards for my recent birthday. Many thanks and best wishes to Fr Johnson who returned home on Friday morning. May God bless us all in these summer days. 

ASSUMPTION 
The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a holy day, is on Friday. Masses here will be celebrated at 8 am, 10 am, and 7 pm. The car park will be open for all Masses.

FR TOM WRITES
This Sunday, the Feast of St Joachim and St Anne, we celebrate the World Day for Grandparents. The day is a joyful encounter between young and old, emphasizing the importance of grandparents and the elderly in families and communities.  At times we take grandparents for granted, or we leave it too late to recognise how important they are in our lives; this Sunday let us give thanks for all we receive through our grandparents, and pray that those who have gone before us may now be enjoying their eternal reward in Heaven. In turn, we pray that grandparents may continue to form the younger generations in the knowledge and love of God.
