Some more photographs from our Ascension celebrations over the weekend. Two very joyful celebrations for our Feast of Title.

Thank you to all who made it so, especially Symbel Choir, Brian our organist, our visiting clergy and ministers of vespers, and the home team for providing wonderful hospitality on both evenings.

It was a particular joy to have Bishop Christopher with us. Our thanks to him for his sermon, and our good wishes and prayers go with him as he prepares for a new stage in his ministry in the summer.

On Sunday, we had the first performance of a new Mass setting written especially for us by Brian, our organist - a beautiful gift, and we look forward to getting more familiar with the melodies over the coming weeks.

A blessed time of worship and fellowship together, for which we give thanks to God!

Happy Ascension Day! We observe the Solemnity today with a Low Mass at 10.00am.

On Sunday, there'll be a Sung Mass at 5.00pm. During the Mass we will take part in a musical world premiere! Our organist, Brian Parsons, has written a new Mass setting for cantor/congregation especially for us, and we look forward to hearing it.
