Monday 16th June 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 22 June…
is another special day for us. We celebrate our Dedication Festival.
Our beautiful building was consecrated on the 24th June 1914. It was thereby set aside for sacred worship. We can only imagine all the baptisms, weddings, and funerals that have been held since then, and of course all those Masses, both high and low. And imagine all the historic global events that have been marked within it, as well as the everyday aspects of so many lives offered up to God in prayer – including our own. It is therefore right that we set aside this coming Sunday to give thanks to God for our wonderful church, and for God’s faithfulness to all those who have gathered within its walls through the course of the generations – both past and future!
Sung Mass, with Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.

Tuesday 3rd June 2025Weekly Newsletter
Sunday 8 June…
is the Feast of Pentecost. Sung Mass, with baptism and Sunday School, begins at 10.30am.
Pentecost celebrates the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the gathering of the nations into Israel’s realized hope. Scripture recounts a multitude of languages, all singing God’s praise on that glorious day so that the entire world may know the mercy of Jesus Christ.
Given we’re such an international community, Sunday is a wonderful opportunity for each of us to be renewed by the Spirit so that we too can share the good news of Jesus Christ in a multitude of languages.
Fr Lincoln
