Sunday 4 May THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD
Today we rejoice not just because Jesus has completed his work on earth and returned to the glory of heaven,
but equally because we are destined to share in his glory.
In the words of today’s opening prayer: "May we follow him into the new creation, for his ascension is our glory and our hope."
There will be the usual masses at
8.00 am and
10.00 am.
Thursday 8 May
7.30 pm Meeting of PCC Standing Committee.
Sunday 11 May PENTECOST or WHITSUNDAY
It was the Holy Spirit who brought the Church into existence in the first place.
It is the Holy Spirit who incorporates us into the Body of Christ in baptism, and who enables us to be the Church in our own day.
We are sent out by Jesus in the power of the Spirit to be his witnesses and to do his work.
8.00 am Low Mass;
10.00 am Procession and Solemn Mass.

Sunday 25 May CORPUS ET SANGUIS CHRISTI: THE BODY AND BLOOD OF CHRIST
All too easily we take God’s gifts for granted.
This is our opportunity to thank him for the gift of the Blessed Sacrament,
and to renew our faith in Jesus who is the living bread
and who nourishes us day by day on our journey through life.
The 10 am Mass will conclude with a procession of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction.
(NB There will be no evening service today.)
