Solemnity Of Mary, The Mother Of God

On Thursday, New Year’s Day, We Celebrate The Solemnity Of Mary, The Mother Of God  

Posted on Dec 27, 2025 by St Simon Stock Parish Office

We pray that the Lord Jesus and His Mother Mary may enrich our lives during the New Year with an abundance of God’s blessings. There will be Mass at 10.30am to honour our heavenly mother Mary, and to welcome in the New Year.
