Dear Parishioners,

On Wednesday 29 June we celebrate the Solemnity of SS. Peter and Paul. It is a holy day of obligation and we have Mass at 10am and 7.30 pm. There is also a Traditional Latin Mass at 12.00 noon. 

O God, who on the Solemnity of the Apostles Peter and Paul give us the noble and holy joy of this day, grant, we pray, that your Church may in all things follow the teaching of those through whom she received the beginnings of right religion.   Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

St Paul (c. 1611) by Peter Paul Rubens

Best Wishes, Father Behruz Rafat

Confession. Fr Behr is available for Confession every Saturday from 10.30am – 11am. He is also happy to visit those who are not able to  come to church.

Our Summer Movie for July is Molokai starring David Wenham on Tuesday 19 July and Tuesday 26 July. There are 10.30am refreshments with the movie at 10.50am. A fascinating biopic of Father Damian of Molokai. He is also known as the leper priest.

Do you remember Father John Hagreen?  (See the brief summary of his tenure as our Parish Priest HERE.) Would you like to share any memories you have? Bryan Masters and Fr Behr are working on a project for next year and would like to speak to anyone who has any stories to share.
