We are looking to make a reader’s rota for weekday Masses so that this ministry does not fall on the shoulders of just a few parishioners. Give your name to Fr. Jose if you would like to offer to read during the week.
Dear Parishioners,
The parish website is updated with the Mass times for this week Fr. Jose’s weekly message, the weeky newsletter for this week, and church notices.
Coming up this Tuesday 7th July there will be a 7.30pm Mass in Canterbury Cathedral celebrating the Translation of the Body of St Thomas of Canterbury.
In August there is our Baptism Preparation Session on Saturday 8th August. Also, the Summer Stillness Retreat at The Friars, Aylesford takes place between 10th–14th August. The Southwark Diocesan Pilgrimage To Lourdes takes places between 21st to 28th August.
Have a great week.

Dear family members and friends, In today’s Gospel we see a beautiful prayer of Jesus: “I thank you, Father. Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to the little children.”
In the second reading St. Paul reminds us, “but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” In order to grasp the hidden mysteries, we have to be live by the Spirit. For that we have to be gentle and humble as Jesus is.
Today’s first reading also reminds us about the humility of Jesus who brings salvation to the whole world. Jesus invites all of us to go to him in order to have rest in the midst of our labours and worries. Carrying the burden with Jesus will make it light and easy. Amen.
Fr. Jose – Parish Priest
Dear family members and friends, Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, two prominent figures in the history of the Church. The Gospel very clearly speaks about the primacy of Peter who declared the faith in Jesus, saying “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus appreciated that and said, “You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church.”
Same way Paul went around preaching the good news especially to the gentiles. Paul is very confident when he says, “The Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it.” Let us follow the example of Peter and Paul to remain rooted in the faith in Jesus Christ and also to proclaim Him wherever we are. Amen.
Dear Parishioners,
The parish website is updated with the Mass times for this week Fr. Jose’s weekly message, the weeky newsletter for this week, and church notices.
Today is The Solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul. It is a Holy day of obligation when we should all attend mass. The second collection will be for Peter’s Pence.
Coming up is a Baptism Preparation Session on Saturday 8th August. Also in August is the Southwark Diocesan Pilgrimage To Lourdes and the Summer Stillness Retreat – The Friars, Aylesford.
Lastly, we are looking to make a reader’s rota for weekday Masses so that this ministry does not fall on the shoulders of just a few parishioners. Give your name to Fr. Jose if you would like to offer to read during the week.
Have a great week.
