Adoration Day

Every Wednesday in St Thomas More Church
there is a silent solemn Adoration
of the Blessed Sacrament that starts at 8.00am,
then at 9.00am we celebrate Morning Prayer
followed by traditional Rosary
and Mass celebration at 9.30am.
The Adoration will continue until 10.00pm,
with possible Funeral or Mass
celebrations in between, if necessary.
Wednesdays when the Adoration
is not going to take place will be
clearly announced in advance.

the beauty and benefits of

Children’s Liturgy recommenced

We are excited to announce that
our Children’s Liturgy have returned
on teem-time Sundays at the 10.00 Mass
in the John Paul Centre.
The catechists invite children who are
the age of reception through to Year 3
and haven’t started their preparation
to First Holy Communion yet.
Younger children and those
with special educational needs
need to be assisted
by their parent or guardian.

Safeguarding importance

“Safeguarding is not the work of a few;
it is a shared responsibility.
Each of us — clergy, volunteers,
parents, parishioners — is called
to remain vigilant, informed,
and committed to the well-being
of every member of our community”.

Safeguarding Sunday, including
