Latest news about our parish
- At the start of this new year let us begin with a simple devotion across all of our Churches.Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament Before Mass.Before each Mass in each of our churches, there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. This offers a precious opportunity to arrive a little earlier and spend time in quiet, prayerful silence before Jesus, truly and fully present in the Eucharist. In the stillness of adoration, we are invited to place ourselves before the Lord—bringing our thanks, our needs, our joys, and our struggles—preparing our hearts to celebrate the Mass more deeply. All are warmly encouraged to make use of this time of grace, whether for a few moments or longer, as we listen, pray, and rest in the presence of Christ.
- Fr Benjamin Sunder will be away for the next few weeks, enjoying a well-earned rest and spending time with his family in India. During his absence, Fr Frank Carvill will celebrate the weekend Masses in New Mills and Marple Bridge, as well as the weekday Masses in Marple Bridge.
