Cormac Cardinal Murphy O'Connor celebrated the 10.30am Mass on Sunday 13th April, as part of our 150th Anniversary celebrations. It was a wonderful occasion to have our Archbishop with us with the church packed out to welcome him and to hear him preach.
Eight parishioners joined the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes for the 150th Anniversary celebrations there, whilst eight of our young people flew to Sydney for World Youth Day. Our Flower Festival takes place from 26th to 29th September and we go on parish pilgrimage to Walsingham on 18th October. Bishop George Stack comes to celebrate the 10.30am Mass on Sunday 19th October (the laying of the Foundation Stone by Francis Cardinal Wiseman took place on 18th October 1858. November sees us trtavel to the Cathdral for a Mass in the Chantry Chapel of our Founder, Herbert Cardinal Vaughan. We finish our year of celebrations with a parish mission in december to be given by the Fransiscan Friars of the Atonement. Further details in due course but in the meantime all are welcome to come and visit our beautiful church, open dawn to dusk on most days.
