“In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone”
(John of the Cross : Feast Day 14.12.2020)

Christmas 2020 will be very different, for the whole world and for us in our Parish and in our Church. Many of you cannot come “home for Christmas” . We will miss your presence and the prayer of your smile.
Christmas Mass is one of my favourite nights and days of the year. This year it will be so different and difficult. Mask wearing, social distancing, no full choir , very few children and a limit of 50 people altogether will make it a very different experience sadly. To cater for more number the Poor Clare Sisters have generously offered to join us in the Parish Church for their Christmas night and Christmas morning Masses. I thank Mother Jemma and her Community.
Can I ask you to please understand that it will not be possible to accommodate all who would wish to come to our Christmas Mass.
This sacrifice I am asking you to make may be the best Christmas prayer you can offer for all our frontline workers and for all who have suffered most during this pandemic year. For those who are not able to attend Mass on Christmas Day will be give priority on the Saturday (St. Stephen’s Day and Sunday . As you can ]understand priority will also be given to people from this parish.
This is a very difficult and painful time for many people. I thank you for your understanding and care for other people. (Fr. Frankie)
