Mass - 31st July at 10 am - St Peter's 

As a Parish we would like to acknowledge the pain and suffering we have all had to endure since March 2020 when the Coronavirus Pandemic took over our world and to remember all those who have died as a result of COVID-19 and offer support and prayers for the bereaved.

We would also like to pray for spiritual sustenance as we continue our journey through the Pandemic and hopefully get back more normality and freedom in our lives in the near future.
To this end, there will be a special Mass in St Peter’s on Saturday 31st July at 10am.

As there will still be some limitations on the numbers we are allowed to have in the Church, seats for this Mass will need to be booked via Eventbrite.
