Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! Thank you also to you all who bring so much to life of the parish throughout the year. May God bless you all and may you continue to celebrate the festive season in your hearts and homes.
FAREWELL FR ANDREW
Fr Andrew’s last day in the parish will be Friday 7th January when he will move to his new parish of Ss Alban and Stephen in St Albans, Herts. We send him with our best wishes and prayers. Although we will miss him, we know he will do wonderful work in his new appointment. We also look forward to a special Mass and celebration in the near future to say thank you. Fr Jerome will arrive here in New Southgate very shortly.

GAUDETE SUNDAY
Today is Gaudete Sunday (the Third Sunday of Advent) when we light the rose coloured candle in our Advent wreath. This is a day of light and joy in the Advent journey. We rejoice and are glad for the approaching feasts and for the coming of Christ.
CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR MASS TIMES
Cards with Mass times for Christmas and New Year are available at the back of church. Please take one and refer to it—to avoid any confusion over the festive season! At the back of church there are also free parish diaries and some free newspapers.

FR DAVID WRITES
We have entered the inner and final part of Advent which is our ‘way’ towards the Lord’s Nativity at Christmas. We look forward to seeing many celebrate Christmas here at church. Please note the times of Masses over Christmas and New Year. There are no Masses on Christmas Eve morning, and no Vigil Masses for Sunday on Christmas Day and New Years’ Day. The Christmas Vigil Mass begins at 6pm and the ’Midnight’ Mass at 11pm. In the week between Christmas and New Year there are only 10am Masses. This week, there are confessions after Mass on Wednesday (Thursday is now a funeral, so the confessions are not possible that day after all). New Year’s Day Mass is at 12 noon.
