Wednesday reflections come as we think about how quickly time goes by!
Dame Valerie Jane Morris Goodall had a solid outlook on time and how we use it….
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Sunday thanks…

If you didn’t know, this week was Volunteers Week. A week where we can celebrate all the volunteers out there and the incredible work that is done by every single one of them.
St Mary’s is lucky enough to have a variety of volunteers with a beautifully diverse range of talents and contributions to our community here, and indeed further afield.
Today, is another opportunity for us to highlight each and every one of you and say thank you for all your hard work.
Truth be told, we probably don’t say it enough but, we hope you know how thankful we are to have you. We simply wouldn’t function without all of you.

Thank you 🧡

Good morning!

What a night last night! We thoroughly enjoyed the quiz night and hope you did too!
Huge thanks to everyone for coming along and supporting g the event and The Friends of St Mary’s! They do so much, not just for the parish, but for the whole community. These events bring everyone together and we truly value all their hard work!

Now then, mass today.
8am Said Mass and 10am Sung Mass.
you are all, as always, very welcome to join us at any of our services. We always love to see our regular faces and new ones.

Here’s hoping for a drier day, although we have very much enjoyed the puddles round here it’s always a risk jumping in them in case it’s a record breaking pot hole! IYKYK!
Take care out there everyone and have an awesome day and we’ll catch up later!
