Welcome: to all our visitors, feel free to look around our beautiful church, particularly the St John Ogilvie Chapel & Exhibition.

Fr Peter: will return in the course of this week, refreshed and ready to celebrate his 10th anniversary, please pray for his safe travel.

Pope’s Prayer Intention: July: For respect for human life: Let us pray for the respect and protection of human life in all its stages, recognising it as a gift from God.

August: For evangelisation in the city: Let us pray that in large cities often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build communities.
