Children’s Rosary: This Friday at 6.30pm, followed by Mass at 7pm. This is an opportunity for children of all ages to gather together to pray the rosary. All families are invited to attend and pre- school children are very welcome.

He used the mitten to cover the stigmata that he received while praying before the Crucifix in the choir loft of the Old Church in the Monastery of San Giovanni Rotondo on 20th September 1918. There will be No Morning Mass on the 6th of July in St Johns/St Thomas.
Parish Allotment Project: We are considering converting a piece of self-contained spare ground into a miniature allotment for parishioners to grow vegetables!
