THE FUTURE OF HOLY FAMILY CHURCH: A NOTE FROM FR. PETER MCGRAIL:
Please note the final date for survey submissions is this Wednesday 11th November.
The FINAL MASS to be celebrated at Holy Family will take place at 5:15pm on Saturday 21 November.
The weekend of 21/22 November will mark the end of Fr. Peter Murphy’s time as assistant priest at St. John Vianney and St. Mary’s. We are all deeply grateful for Fr. Peter Murphy’s ministry among us over the past years, and I especially have cause to say ’thank-you’ to him for the help and support he has given me since I arrived here as your parish priest.
From the First Sunday of Advent, we will be down to one priest serving both parishes. I am working on the presumption that we will aim to have one Mass on Saturday evening and two on Sunday morning; it is therefore important to gauge people’s preferences, so we have launched a questionnaire.
The questionnaire is available in two ways. If you are tech-savvy, please scan the QR Code or use the link to complete the questionnaire online Questionnaire on Mass Times
Alternatively, paper copies will be available in Church at all Masses this weekend. We need to move quickly, as the new timetable will start on the First Sunday of Advent; the closing date for submissions is Wednesday 11 November.
This is a huge change for all of us, so please keep these matters in your prayers. With prayers for God’s blessing on you and your families, Fr. Peter McGrail
