The field is a large open space so there is no need to book or RSVP, simply show up!
This Mass will be the only morning Mass being celebrated in the parish.

Act now to save life
Please act now and ask your MP to sign a parliamentary motion calling for an end to ‘DIY’ abortion.
Carla Lockhart MP has launched a parliamentary motion calling on the Government to end ‘DIY’ home abortion. If ‘DIY’ home abortions become permanent, this will be a very big change to abortion provision that will likely lead to the loss of many more lives - and it is likely that this will have a strong negative impact on the physical and emotional health of women.
Right To Life UK has launched an easy-to-use tool which makes it simple for you to send an email to your MP asking them to sign the motion.
