WAVE OF HOPE - ADVENT CALENDAR REFLECTIONS
Starting on the First Sunday of Advent, 'Wave of Hope' offers 25 short multimedia reflections for the season - one a day - as our contributors share a moment in 2025 that has led them to a place of hope.

Advent is a key time in which we prepare ourselves to celebrate the Lord coming into the world as the incarnate God of love.

OCTOBER IS THE MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY
Join the 'Mark 10' Mission in the Rosary Challenge:
"The Rosary Challenge is to pray a decade of the Holy Rosary each weekday in October. With the help of Archbishop John Wilson, we have created videos to guide you through all twenty Mysteries of the Holy Rosary."

The Rosary Challenge 2023 is the perfect way to journey through the Month of the Holy Rosary. The Month of October is the month of the Holy Rosary and we are inviting children everywhere to pray this wonderful prayer with us each weekday in October.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined and supported our FAMILY FUN DAY, shared between our parish and the Parish of the Transfiguration.
From country dancing (great fun and great exercise!) to lively games, the afternoon was full of joy and laughter—the children really enjoyed playing volleyball and ended with an enthusiastic tug-of-war! The London Fire Brigade made a visit and found a number of new recruits! We loved coming together to share a picnic and spend time as one community.
A special thank you to our Social Committee for all the work behind the scenes to make the afternoon such a success. We’re already looking forward to the next event!

Our St Mary Magdalen Day celebration began with Mass at 11:00am. During the liturgy, nine altar servers were enrolled into the Guild of St Stephen and received their bronze medals. We were also treated to a beautiful performance of The Trumpet Shall Sound by Handel, with trumpet and tenor soloist, making it a truly joyful occasion. As we honour our patron saint—known for her deep love and faithful witness to Jesus—may we continue to grow as a community united in faith, service, and joy.

The Holy See has announced the death of Pope Francis on 21 April 2025. The Church now enters an official nine-day period of mourning.

A Requiem Mass will be held today, 21st April, at 5:30pm in Westminster Cathedral.

Let us pray for the repose of Pope Francis' soul, that he may know, in full measure, the merciful and loving embrace of the Father, of the one God to whom he gave his life in unstinting service.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols.
