With Mgr Liam now on his own, there will be some weekdays when there will not be mass or when a weekday mass will be at a different time than is normal. On days when there is no mass there will be a Liturgy of the Word with Holy Communion. Do please check the newsletter each week for the times of mass for the following week.
