Christmas Octave

By Webmaster • December 19, 2025
The joy that fills the Church at the birth of Jesus is celebrated throughout the Christmas season. The Church, as a continuation of the Christmas Feast, celebrates the Octave of Christmas, that is, the eight days between Christmas and New Year’s Day as a special celebration, with each day celebrated with prayer based on the Angels’ message to the Shepherds, the Gloria.  Unlike our society, which seems to see December 25th as the end of the Christmas season, for us, December 25th is the beginning of Christmastime. These days between Christmas and New Year see many people taking leave, which is a great opportunity to spend more time with the Lord and come to a Christmas Octave Mass. During this week, we will celebrate the feasts of St. Stephen on the 26th , St. John the Apostle on the 27th and the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph next Sunday. This all culminates in the celebration of Mary, the Mother of God, on New Year’s Day.

Family Christmas Mass

By Webmaster • December 19, 2025
The 6pm Mass on Christmas Eve will be celebrated as a Family Christmas Mass. Carols will be sung from 5:30pm onwards. You are encouraged to come along with your whole family and begin Christmas Day with a fitting celebration of the Lord’s birth for all, young and old.

Christmas Offerings

Third Sunday of Advent – Gaudete Sunday

By Webmaster • December 11, 2025
Today, the Third Sunday of Advent, is also called Gaudete Sunday. This name comes from the antiphon we use at Mass today. The antiphon, in Latin “Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete” or in English “Rejoice in the Lord always; again, I say, rejoice” has been used on this day since the ninth century. So today reminds us both of the joy of expectation of the coming of our Saviour at Christmas and of the traditions of our ancient faith which we continue to celebrate in our Mass today. In the spirit of the joy of expectation, the Church marks today with rose-coloured vestments and we light the rose-coloured candle in our Advent Wreath.

An Act of Spiritual Communion


My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

 Amen.

Christ the King – World Youth Day

By Webmaster • November 21, 2025
On this great Solemnity of Christ the King, the Church celebrates World Youth Day. His Holiness Pope Leo has written a message to all young people to help them to mark this day. The theme this year is “You also are my witnesses, because you have been with me” (John 15:27). Pope Leo reminds all young people that he would like them all to focus on two aspects of witness: their friendship with Jesus, which we receive from God as a gift, and their commitment to be builders of peace in society. The Full Text of the Holy Father’s message can be read here: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/messages/youth/documents/20251007-messaggio-xlgmg.html
