Sunday Services.

Our Parish Mass is celebrated each Sunday at 1030hrs This is an traditional language celebration of the Eucharist, usually with a Mass setting sung by our lovely choir, a short homily, usually based on the Gospel of the day, incense and a great Junior Church. The Angelus or Regina Caeli is sung at the end of Mass.

We will endeavour, beginning to in December, to include the Mass setting and Motet details for your information

We advocate the full inclusion of all people in the Christian church, including in the threefold order of bishops, priests and deacons, regardless of ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation.

Confessions are heard by appointment with the clergy. Within the Anglican Church, confession and absolution is usually seen as part of corporate worship, particularly at Mass. The form involves a call to repentance by the priest, a period of silent prayer and reflection, a form of confession said together by all present and then the pronouncement of God's forgiveness by the priest accompanied by the sign of the cross.
However, private confession is also practiced and is common within our Anglo-Catholic Tradition.  Many people still engage in a discipline of making their confession before major Feasts or more generally throughout the year, every 6 weeks or so. 
If you have never made your confession privately, and would like to talk through what this involves, please contact Fr. Michael. you might not feel comfortable making your confession to Fr Michael but he can advise and help you.
