TIME AWAY: I am away on a week’s leave with effect from the 12th of October, then I am away with Bishop Marcus for a further week. I return for the Sunday Masses commencing on the 24th . Sunday Masses will take place as normal, and I am very grateful to Fr Maurice Pearce covering my time away. However, I am sorry to say that there will be no weekday Masses in the parish when I am away. My week’s leave is in Rome and obviously I will be keeping up with my daily prayers which, every day, include your intentions, I will also be celebrating the Mass. If you have any specific intentions, as always, please do let me have them. Fr Chris
