🙏✨ Tonight is our final Rosary Rally evening before tomorrow’s Deanery Pilgrimage in honour of Our Lady of Grace Ipswich ✨🙏

Join us tonight at St Mark’s:
📿 Rosary at 6pm
✝️ Holy Mass at 7pm

If you’ve never prayed the Rosary before, please don’t let that stop you — we’ll guide you through it with simple explanations as we pray together, and there are free rosaries for everyone.

This week has been such a joyful and prayerful time together, and we would love to see as many people there as possible tonight.

There are still plenty of rosaries available too…
