Picture
Greetings everyone,
     And in the midst of the Level-4 lockdown (I'm writing this on 26th August 2021) I hope you and your family or bubble are managing OK. Elsewhere on this page you have a note from Father Terry giving the times of our weekday and weekend Masses via Zoom.
     Let us hope and pray that we will soon exit this trying time and space and get back to a more normal life.
     If you are not receiving my regular email updates to parishioners it will be because I do not have your actual email address. In that case just message me at (Frjohnfitzmaurice@gmail.com) and we will add you to our contact list.
     Blessing and peace for now — Father John
