MASS INTENTIONS FROM
Sunday 27 July 2025


In June, over two successive Sundays, members of our Parish Pastoral Council addressed parishioners at Mass on the diocesan Building Hope Initiative, the aim of which is to renew our faith life and to enable parishes to work more effectively in partnership. Our Partnership Pastoral Council has agreed that we will focus each month on one of the four pillars in the Building Hope Planning Resource.
This Sunday members of our Pastoral Council will introduce parishioners to the first of those pillars, 'Welcome and Inclusion', and at the end of Mass we will be invited to respond to a short questionnaire in relation to this topic.
We invite parishioners and visitors to respond to the questions openly and honestly. It will only take a few minutes, and your feedback is very important to us, so that we can grow as a community of Christian life and faith.
Many thanks for your participation.
