Saint Wulstan's Catholic Church

16/06/2026

In the Gospel today, Jesus reminds us to love both our friends and our enemies, for we must be perfect as our heavenly father is perfect.
Speaking of perfection,this morning's psalm, number 50, was famously set to near musical perfection by Allegri and Mozart.
Enjoy the recording

Allegri's haunting Miserere is famous for both its ethereal beauty ...

Please note, St Wulstans is still accessible by road, despite the recent road closures. If you approach from the Marsh/Newcastle direction, you can still access the car park.

From Fr John:
Thank you all for your prayers and best wishes. They have been answered, I am home in the presbytery and recovering well.
I said the Friday morning Mass today and felt that I'd overexerted myself a bit. I have therefore asked the Archdiocese to organise Sunday Mass cover for this weekend.
I hope to be back on my feet next week.
God bless you all.

Update:
Fr John is still in the hospital, please don't worry, and is hoping to be seen in a few hours.
Sadly this means we have to cancel both the 630pm adoration and Mass tonight and tomorrow morning's 10am St John's. It is hoped that normal service will resume on Friday.
We will keep you posted

A further notice.
Due to a minor medical procedure, at the order of Fr John's doctor, there will be no 930 Mass on Wednesday 10th June (tomorrow)
We apologise for the inconvenience and ask you not to worry about Fr John, who has every intention of being with us for the evening Mass at 7.

Road access to Church lane is blocked today, due to the emergency water repairs.
Sadly, this means we must cancel the Men of Faith meeting.
We will aim to re-gather on July 14th.

Thank you for understanding.

Fr John

This weekend we celebrated the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.
