WYA - Hydrangea planting

On the feast of Corpus Christi the children who followed the With You Always programme had a celebration Mass. After the Mass they accompanied Fr Andrew into the monastery garden to plant a Hydrangea bush. The Hydrangea will be a permanent reminder of the occasion and is a symbol of their growth in faith. Last year bulbs were planted.

Below are a few photos from the planting ceremony

The two stars on the wall record the year of the planting of the bulbs and Hydrangea

NOVENA:

Remember that Fr Michael Henesy with his team is leading the Novena in preparation for the Feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Succour on the 27th of this month. 

Beginning on Wednesday 19 June the Novena will consist simply of a special service each evening at 7.30pm.

Please put this in your diaries and let’s see if we can revive this part of the devotional life of the parish.

NEXT FRIDAY 12 APRIL:

The Bishops of England and Wales have designated this as a day of prayer for victims and survivors of sexual abuse in the Church. (Reflections, prayer and intercessions are available on the Bishop Conference's website click here.)

I commend to you the early Mass at 7.00am (the noon Mass is a funeral) and also the Holy Hour at St Mary’s between 6.00pm and 7.00pm, which will focus on this intention.
