On the rare Holy Days of Obligation, Mass is celebrated in the church at 9am and 7.30pm. There is Mass in St Luke's Primary school at 11am and in St Michael's Academy at 12.45pm.
BAPTISMS are normally celebrated on a Sunday, either during Mass or in the afternoon at 2.30pm. Please give the priests sufficient notice.
WEDDINGS There is a six month 'notification' rule in the diocese - to allow proper time for preparation for marriage. Generally notification time is longer due to requirements of hotels, photographers etc. Weddings tend to be lavish affairs, but need not be. The celebration of the Sacrament is the most important element of a wedding, but is easily overtaken by other arrangements. Please discuss your requirements with one of the priests who will offer assistance. Arrangements about music, legal requirements, times, rehearsal etc need to be made in good time.
CONFESSIONS The Sacrament of Forgiveness is celebrated publicly during Lent and Advent. Private celebration can be arranged at any time (01294 552276) and Confessions are generally heard on Saturday morning after Mass or in the evening from 5.30 to 6.15pm.
