A Change to Tuesday’s Weekday Mass
Webmaster • April 27, 2024
COVID has impacted on those coming to all our weekday masses. The Tuesday morning mass was stopped last year because no one was participating. It was re-introduced at the beginning of Lent but sadly this has not improved matters. As of Tuesday, the 7th May mass will be celebrated in the evening at 7.00 pm in the hope it will encourage parishioners to participate in God’s greatest gift to us. This will be reviewed at the end of summer.
Archbishop Mark's June newsletter covers new appointments and canonical installations, vocations news, the upcoming CCO diocesan mission, Emmaus youth and vocations events, the Heart Speaks to Heart study programme, prayers for Canon Jason Jones and those who are ill, and details of several upcoming pilgrimages and events including Sea Sunday, the Welsh National Pilgrimage to Lourdes, the Archdiocesan Pilgrimage to Italy, and Caritas Day in Bridgend. You can read the newsletter here: https://rcadc.org/archbishop-marks-june-2026-newsletter/
On Sunday, 21 June , we mark the Day for Life under the theme “The Wonder of the Child in the Womb.” The theme also recognises the loss of children who died before birth and the grief of their parents. The bishops’ message and prayers can be found on the Day for Life website: www.dayforlife.org . The second collection will go towards the Day for Life Fund, which distributes grants to organisations that promote respect for life from conception until natural death. You can also donate online via the Day for Life website."
