Dear Parishioners and Visitors, It has been a tough year with many challenges. The world is changed, with our lives became constrained. This Christmas feels so different, and for those who have to isolate even empty… But what is the most important at Christmas? Is it family gathering, Christmas gifts, or carol services? St Teresa of Avila teaches us, “God alone suffices.” Christmas is because of Jesus, and he is the “Joy to the World!” May the Emmanuel, God with us, fill you with his Joy as we celebrate Jesus' birth. Where people are lonely or sad, may He touch them with His love and comfort. We wish you all every joy and blessing this Christmas and in the coming New Year.

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

It has been a tough year with many challenges. The world is changed, with our lives became constrained. This Christmas feels so different, and for those who have to isolate even empty…

But what is the most important at Christmas? Is it family gathering, Christmas gifts, or carol services?

St Teresa of Avila teaches us, “God alone suffices.”

Christmas is because of Jesus, and he is the “Joy to the World!”

May the Emmanuel, God with us, fill you with his Joy as we celebrate Jesus' birth. Where people are lonely or sad, may He touch them with His love and comfort. We wish you all every joy and blessing this Christmas and in the coming New Year.

Fr Peter, Fr Rodney, Fr Wojciech, Fr Jibin

on 20 th July 2021. We are compiling presentations and updates via the website and in the Church. We

have contracted quiet working during the week between 10-11am to allow for private prayer and our regu-

lar masses when we return. You will see scaffolding being erected and securing that the church is watertight

this will be up by Christmas. Thank you for all your support you have shown.
