8.00 am Said Mass

10.00 am Parish Mass

Our 8.00 am Mass is said, usually with a sermon, and lasts around 30 minutes - an opportunity both to come to church and have the rest of the day for other things.

Our 10.00 am Mass is partly sung and with hymns, and lasts around 1 hour 5 minutes. Children are very welcome and we have a children's area in the north aisle, a creche and a Sunday School.

Around every six weeks we hold a Children's Mass

We have recently developed an 'Adult Sunday School' which also takes place around once every six weeks - this takes place during the middle part of the service, in place of a sermon, and is an opportunity for us to think together about issues which are important to us - our first was on how, why and for whom the Gospels came to be written, and our second on Christianity and the environment. The length of the service remains the same, just over an hour.
