Mass intentions

There is no greater prayer than the Mass, because it is the perfect offering of Jesus, the Son of God, to His heavenly Father. At Mass, we are free to join our prayers with the intention of the priest, and to pray for any number of our own personal intentions. In offering Mass for a specific intention, the priest prays to God that the fruits of Christ's sacrifice be applied to the requested intention, for the spiritual or earthly good of the person(s) concerned.

At present we have intentions to the end of July. If you would like Mass offered, please write the intention and the desired date on an envelope with your offering, and hand it in at the rectory, to Fr Stuart or place in the collection basket.
