CAFOD MEMORIAL MASS:
At 11 am on 22nd November, in memory of all our Supporters and Volunteers, at the Church of Christ the King, 29 Bramley Road.
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION:
Please note that confessions usually take place in the confessional on Saturdays 10.30-11 am and 5.30-6 pm. For safeguarding and the discipline of the sacraments, the Diocese asks that wherever possible confessions are celebrated in this way rather than 'ad hoc'. If this is not possible, e.g. because of work, you can make a pre-arranged appointment with the priest. We ask that we all try to follow this pattern. Before Christmas, there will be further opportunities for confession, during a daytime service and at extended weekend confessions, so that everyone has an opportunity. More to follow.
