Worship is at the centre of life within our Parish community. The heart of it is the celebration of the Parish Mass, the Eucharist, the service instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ at the Last Supper when He gave the command ‘do this in remembrance of Me’
Our main Sunday services are quite formal but also relaxed, dignified and friendly. The liturgy is carefully planned with music that is inspiring and uplifting. The clergy aim to give challenging sermons that both educate and inspire. After each Sunday service there is always an opportunity to chat and meet each other over coffee and biscuits.
Three or four times during the year we meet together for a joint Sung Mass in St Augustine’s at 10.30 am. This is an opportunity for the congregations from each of the three churches to get to know each other and worship as the whole Church family.
Mass is said every day in the Parish. Saints’ Days and Solemnities are observed with a Sung Mass (usually in St Augustine’s).
