We have completed phase one of the works on the Holy Rosary Church.

To complete this work as quickly as possible the Holy Rosary church will be closed from Monday 2nd September through to Saturday 21st September.

This year the feast falls on Sunday 23rd June. We will be celebrating how we are all part of Christ’s Body.

All children who have recently made their First Holy Communion along with their families are invited to take part in the Corpus Christi Procession.

We planned to have a BBQ but due to the weather forecast not being good, the BBQ is deferred until the autumn.

We will however, have a cuppa in Kilian House Family Centre after the 11.30am Mass.

ALL WELCOME
