At all of our Christmas Masses,
Children are invited to come dressed as Shepherds and Angels.
All masses begin with the singing of Carols.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
As a preparation for receiving Holy Communion at Christmas, many people will
wish to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (what we used to call
"Confession") to ensure that they are in a "state of
grace".
The Sacrament is available on Saturday from 10am in the 'confessional' in the Church, and at any time on reasonable request.
Before and after all masses on the weekend
of Sunday 17th December, there will be extra opportunities to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
We are holding a Parish Reconciliation Service at
3:00pm on Sunday 17th December, with the opportunity for individual
confession.
