Evening Mass this Saturday, 10th July, at Christ the Cornerstone
This Saturday 10th July Bishop David will join us to celebrate the sacrament of confirmation for about fifty of our young people. Because of the continuing restrictions upon the number of people who can gather in our churches, we will have two Confirmation Masses (3pm and 7pm) at Christ the Cornerstone. This will mean that there will be no regular 5.30pm Mass on that day.
Sunday Morning Mass at St Bede’s
After a very helpful conversation at St Bede’s a few weeks ago, we have decided to move the current Sunday morning Mass time to 8.30am from this Sunday,11th July. This will allow greater flexibility with the Sunday Mass schedule. Thank you to the people of St Bede’s for your generosity. We will review how things have been working at Christmas.
Sunday Evening Mass at St Augustine’s
We have gradually increased the number of our Sunday Masses as needs have required. We have begun to celebrate Mass again on Sunday evening at St Augustine’s at 6.30pm. This will continue to increase the opportunities to come to Mass at different times across the weekend.

Sea Sunday 2021
This Sunday is Sea Sunday, when the Church prays for all those who live and work on the sea. Stella Maris, as it is known today, was previously known as the Apostleship of the Sea.
Stella Maris is the official Catholic Charity that helps all seafarers and fishers with spiritual and financial support. In these very difficult time for many. Please pray for our seafarers and our fishers. If you can help financially there will be a chance to do so after Masses in each of our parishes this weekend.
