    Sunday 9th February…

    is the 4th Sunday before Lent. In our Gospel reading we will hear about a miraculous catch of fish and how the first disciples left everything to follow their Lord. As we gather together as a church, let’s pray that the Lord works his wonders in our midst, freeing us to walk in obedience to the call that is on each of our lives. Because, just like the first disciples, Jesus summons us to share the good news. May we all be inspired to witness to him in word and deed over the coming week. And may we do so with confidence, assured of his promised liberation and thereby entrusting our future to him.

    Sung Mass, with Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.

    Fr Lincoln

    The Annunciation’s doors will be open 10am-6pm Monday-Friday next week. Mass will be said daily at 12.30pm in the Lady Chapel. This is a short service, lasting about 20-25 minutes, so it’s ideal for those on a lunch break who will value some peace. Spread the word!
