Altar Servers’ Mass
On Tuesday 29 December there will be a special Mass at 10.30am for the altar servers. I encourage all the children who serve at Mass to come along on that day. Those servers who have been serving regularly and have not yet received their St Stephen’s medal are invited to participate in the enrolment ceremony which will be held at the Mass.

Some of the older ones read passages from the Holy Scriptures:

Parish Pilgrimage to Lourdes

The parish pilgrimage to Lourdes will take place during the summer half-term. The cost is £450 and in line with our family-friendly policy, we offer half-price for children under 16. By managing all the arrangements ourselves, we keep the cost much lower than commercial pilgrimages.
The cost includes flights, transfers, and half-board accommodation in the 3* Grand Hotel D’Angleterre (for single rooms we pass on the supplement charged by the hotel).
The Pilgrimage includes Mass each day in the traditional form, including a special Mass for children, the torchlight procession, a tour of Lourdes, and plenty of time for sightseeing, socialising and relaxation.
This year, the Pilgrimage is offered also to the parish of St Mary’s, Chislehurst, and Fr Briggs will be joining us as an additional chaplain.
Booking forms are available at the back of the Church or by email from mac.mclernon@ntlworld.com. Please return your form and deposit as soon as possible to secure a place.
